The T-belt tensioner assembly has it's own pulley, as does the T-belt idler. You are correct in that the hydraulic tensioner is typically what goes first.

I don't see how changing the pushrods has anything to do with timing. They are usually cleaned/replaced when performing major top-end work.

The T-belt tensioner assemby contains a small hydraulic piston, or pushrod.

G/luck!
