I do have the toolkit, it was ~ $80 and included the E20 TORX bit that is good for rotating the crankshaft by hand, as well as the crankshaft lock and cam sprocket locks. I haven't used it yet but the kit looks to be very useful if not essential.
I have no idea how many miles are on the tensioner. I can see signs that the timing cover has been removed sometime in the past, but I don't know if the tensioner is original or not. The car has 100K miles, I bought it with no service records.
If I do manage to fix this and the valves turn out to be fine I'll have dodged a major bullet.
