Headgasket replacement, M10

[Cracker Red]

First thing is first, I need to pull the head on a 1984 318i. Looks like it's pretty straight-forward.

Some questions:

Cam timing, are there marks to go by?

Chain tension, how is this properly set?

Any special tools or cam-foolery needed like on the M50's?

Thanks!

Probably as easy as it gets, get new intake manifold gaskets and exhaust gasket on there as well. There are marks, I forgot where as it's been a long time since I did any m10 related stuff..

As far as I remember no special tools were needed at all.
