If you use the mazworx manual cam chain tensioner is any modification needed aside from the s14 head gasket and other s14 items? I ask this since the stock tensioner works off of oil pressure and the mazworx one doesn't seem to need anything of that sort. I have a full standalone setup so the electronics aren't an issue. I'm trying to just make sure the mechanicals will line up and work. My s14 block needs a line bore on the crank and I have a spare good s13 block sitting around.

The hole is drilled only for oil pressure. I am not familiar with Mazworx's design or that particular product but if it does not require oil pressure then it only makes sense to me that you wouldn't even have to worry about it.

You mentioned something about jb welding a hole and then having the guy plug it later. I'm confused on why you had to do this, could you explain?

He had to do that so the oil wouldn't leak all over the engine BC the port hangs over the s13 block.
