The M117 has hydraulic compensators, aka lifters, so no adjustment is needed. They do need oil pressure to take up the initial clearance.

The oil tubes don't need to be replaced, just the plastic pieces that fit into the cam towers. once you replace the holders, use a rubber or plastic hammer and lightly tap the oilers into the holes. Make sure there are no broken plastic bits in the holes. Use carb cleaner spray to make sure the pipes are clean

I did a writeup on replacing my timing chain and guides.

Chain Guides Replaced

It's an M116 but they are alike.

I hope this helps.
