ok so first i need to make sure a 93 5.0 has a timing belt. i have the kit to convert it to a timing chain, and its just 2 sprockets and a double chain looking thing.

my question is, do i need a tensioner or something and how do i oil it?

I comes factory with the stuff you have. A 5.0 never had a timing belt. There is no tensioner.

They come with a chain from factory, there is no 302 with a belt. Well, the brand new ones could have a belt, but not the ones in a fox.
