Timing Chain Tensioner and Rocker Arms Installation

Today I got the cam timing done and tried to install new chain tensioners (OEM from Pelican Parts, oil fed style) but the first tensioner didn't "pop" when I pulled the pin. So while I held the idler sprocket taute with one hand, I reached the workbench and grapped the second new tensioner and installed it (this one worked - the tensioner entended with a "pop" when I pulled the retaining pin).

I got the phone with Pelican Parts and without difficulty I got a replacement tensioner ordered and got an RMA to return the faulty tensioner via FedEx on Pelican Parts' dime.

I also got the o-rings for the chain tensioners ordered, they do not come the engine gasket kit.

Then I turned my attention to installing rocker arms. I had installed the intake rocker arm on cylinder #1 and #4 as part of the camshaft timing process. Next I installed the remaining rockers on the 1,2,3 bank and got the valve covers installed.
