Default replacing timing chain

I'll be replacing my timing chain, sprockets and tensioner in the next week or two. Any hints or pointers would be awesome. This is a great site I found that explains it http://www.dodgedakota.net/articles/timingchain/

good instruction on the link. ones i have done i just line up the dots before taking off the old set and make sure the dots are lined up when installing the new set. just don't move anything while changing it out. thats of course there is no issue that the old one has jumped a tooth.

I've replaced a timing set before but the link went so in depth with it, plus it was a gmc I thought I'd get some advice.
