Im about to buy a 90 that has the head off, becuse the guy was going to replace it, but is now going to sell the car.

so i basicly just have to put the new head on it. should i replace the timing chain, and tensioners at the same time? all i should have to do is bolt the head on, align the timing marks, and put it all together right? its prety straight forward isnt it?

one thing i am woried about is, if the cam sprocket was removed and put back on how will i know if the timing marks are in the right place?

thanks in advance for any help.
