The tensioner replacement is only to improve the startup "rattle" that you are experiencing. It won't (shouldn't) alter your camshaft deviations. You need to lock the crank and 1 camshaft relative to which tensioner you are replacing. Use the search function for details.
The plastic pad replacement is a whole different story which, (I believe), can be done with the engine in situ, but most experienced people say its quicker & easier by removing the engine.
