Good news.
New ims is in, tensioners in.
Couple of items that might help you.
1. The tensioners are tough to get back in because of tension, imagine that. I had to press on with a large screwdriver while simultaneously threading until i could get it started. Torque to 59ft lbs each.
2 there is a real danger of the ims c clip flying into the engine case through the exposed lip. Mine squirted out several times. Invest in some decent c clip pliers. I fashioned a 2 inch copper pipe and sandwiched it against the IMS removal threaded tube. The diameter is greater than the gap between the c clip arms, so it is impossible to fly off. DONT just use the finger method. See picture here for example.(coming)
3. Once everything is buttoned up, rotate crank 720 degrees and check all 4 cam marks ( you should have marked them with a sharpee). Mine were dead on
