Couple more things that I found:

1. You don't have to pull the distributor. I did the entire job with the distro in place. At least ya don't have to worry about that losing timing.
2. I had a rising and falling idle that I never could get completely fixed. After the tensioners were rebuilt this was reduced by a lot. I think that many of the idle issues that I have read about may be related to loose cam chains.....maybe.
3. I couldn't use the collars because the chain was not stretched enough but will have to relook at that in the future.
4. Its a great opportunity to get the engine looking good because this is a pretty messy job with lots of oil drips.

Pix coming and thanks again for all the help as I could not have done this without the experts in this thread!
