Fun job...I just got done doing mine, except I did all the chains and tensioners....there are posts that are perfect for the job. The only thing I can add is that you will need to drop the oil pan and pickup...you are going to find debris there..And do yourself a favor get the otc toolkit...it makes doing the job easy and right

Ok the chains are isntalled and the timing is good the motor rotates freely. So is just put everything back. I will add some pics later.
