How to prime a timing chain tensioner?

[Salty Dalt]

I am replacing the drivers side timing chain tensioner and am having some trouble priming it, would somebody care to explain how you can prime it quickly the right way?

I believe you just need to soak the chain in oil prior to installation.

But I'm just installing a new tensioner because the chain was rattling because the old one is worn out. I thought you had to like push the plunger of the tensioner up and down in oil....
