I found a few pics I took while doing the cam replacements and cam timing with the motor in the car back in 2008.
You can see the blue hylomar I spread on the new chain case gaskets and they have never leaked or sweat any oil.
I also replaced all the plastic chain rails.
I did the cam timing with only the oil fed tensioners installed. Thats whats in there with the motor running so why not, and it's the spring inside the tensioner that tensions the chain and engine oil pressure only dampens it like a shock absorber.
Wadded up paper towels around the bottom side of the chain keeps anything like the cam timing pin from possibly falling into the case while doing this but the chain still slips through while turning over the motor.
