Just be aware the threads have to be cleaned out a tap works the best they say finger tight but it comes with a Allen wrench so use it, the only one that will give you a fit is the head stud closest to the driver (American) as their is a oil shield under the valve cover it can hang up on if the stud is too high. Looks like the rest should clear no problem. Maybe drilling a hole in the shield would be easier in a pinch.
Tried a thread chaser but it won't get deep enough so found a tap and that did way better just do them all the bottom holds he key to getting the bolt to go low enough to seal the cover gasket. (Don't ask how I know this!) LOL
For the chain tensioner not wanting to go back in a LONG screwdriver will get it in when you need to put the cam sprocket back on the cam.
Good news is the final torque is 90lb so with that and a laminated head gasket it should be good to go.
