As a quick update I got the chain changed last weekend. I measured the new wear at 2-3* which I was less than ecstatic over, the motor seems to react faster now but still doesn't have the power the 84 did. I'm going to advance the IP a little bit now, see if I can get things upto par.

Turns out the thermostat housing is supposed to be removed to get the tensioner out, I don't think you have to but I did regardless. All that needed replacing in there was the spring, very simple and straightforward. I also found big babbo on ebay selling the IWIS for $56 supposedly, however I found this after ordering it.
