RH Cam Chain Tensioner
I am buying a "Housing, RH Cam Chain Tensioner, 2nd Design 90~95" from Jerrys to install in my "91.
Does anyone know of a how to article or video on how to replace this tensioner? Anyone else done this swap? How hard was it? How long did it take?

The necessity of re-setting the Tensioner is deceiving as it appears that the "spring loaded and extended" Tensioner can simply be compressed as the new Housing is bolted in place, but major problems can and have occurred by doing this. This is not a difficult job to do and only takes a little while to perform. The LT5 has a few "gotcha's" and re-setting the Tensioner before installation is one of them.

Re: RH Cam Chain Tensioner
Piece of cake if the engine is out of the car. A bit more challenging if it is still in. To install it in the car the oil filter housing will first have to be removed to gain access to the tensioner location on the right side cylinder head. May also have unbolt an jack up the right side of the engine an inch or two to remove the existing tensioner housing and insert the new one.
