Default 4.7 Timing chains

Well I posted here a couple of weeks ago that I had some noise from my 4.7. The belt tensioner exploded and after a replacement I thought I had my noise fixed.
The short answer is no it isn't gone. After a whole lot of listening and research I believe what I am hearing is timing chain slap from the cam chain on the right (pass side) of the engine.
My Cloyes kit and gasket will be here this week so next weekend is the big install.
I already have..
3 jaw puller
M14x1.5 threaded rod (8 inch I can cut if needed) and washers and nuts
Several wooden wedges that I hope to keep the cams from moving with
rubber bands and zip ties
Oil and filter
Coolant
Is there anything else I need or any extra tips?
Thanks and I will keep you posted.
