I can't believe these weren't designed with a preload spring intially. If it is not too much trouble could you post the PN for the revised chain tensioners?

Sure, you can fabricate all of the holding tools; the TDC lock pin is a 5/16 rod, and the cam holding tools are just metal flat stock cut to a specific shape, nothing more.
The “old style” tensioners have been totally superseded; you can no longer find them. Any dealer can get you the updated version with the pre-load spring, I'd check with them to get the latest part number as they have changed it a couple of times.
