Just immerse the chain tensioners in motor and pump the piston until they're rigid.

Also, Id recommend ordering the cam brake kit, it contains the tensioner pads that go in between the camshafts.

Timing on this engine looks very simple, the problem is it bites. You throw everything together, and next thing you know, you have cam deviation codes. Get the tool or borrow it from someone.

Also, before you put the valve covers back on, Put cyl #1 on compression, and rotate the crank 120 deg at a time and follow the firing order (1-6-2-4-3-5). Its easy to make a mistake and have Cyls 1 and 6 on compression at the same time.

What would be even better is after you put everything together on the bench, fill the engine up with oil and activate the starter for a few 30 sec intervals. Then check your timing again.
