thanks mike, ill be sure to get back to you guys once i found out anything. and for an update, i tried cranking the car with the key, and it is cranking over, but it did seem a little lumpy? like it would jump or something, i dunno how to explain it. but im thinking that was because i was holding the tensioner in place myself, so im going to buy a heli coil kit to repair the stripped tensioner hole, and will try starting her once its done, and will reply with any updates.
