Timing chain replacement time

After puting new lifters or cam followers, I checked the timing chain. It was at least 5 degrees. New chain time I guess

What brand of chain should I order?
What special tools are needed?
How do I replace the chain

Any input would be helpful thanks

5 degrees is not that bad, check and see if there are cam offset keys available in that amount first!

It's not the same family of engines but the overall procedure isn't too different. There's a different procedure for resetting a 60x timing chain tensioner.
