Default 4.7 timing ?'s

i'm working on a 2000 durango with the 4.7l. its got 205k miles on it and i need to replace the tensioners on the timing chain(not my vehicle sadly). i'm not new to chaining timing belts but this is a gray area for me.

anything i special that needs to be done with installing the tensions or do i just make sure the timing marks on the sprockets are a little ahead so the tension puts the timing dead on like i've done on some of my cars?

p.s. i can't believe how much **** has to come off to do this. much more than when i did the belt on my old odyssey.

Be sure to torque the Idler gear, because will cause an oil pressure problem, if its not torque correctly. Turn the engine by hand before trying to start the engine.
