3.6 Cam Timing with Stock Tensioners?
What is the consensus?
I have seen some people who say to use a steering wheel puller, stomski tool, or other such device to tension the chains. I have also seen some who say to use the stock tensioners to tension the chains for timing. I am ready to time my cams and don't have the specific tool. Should i wait to source one or are the stock tensioners sufficient?

I ve always used the stock tensioners in good condition
There is a variable in the numeric settings, the chains are tight, but not distorted, and as the chains heat they expand. Everything is variable Bruce |

That’s the purpose of the hydraulic tensioners, to keep that variable on check, cold or hot.
