yes 15 degrees is too much
but at 136K it would seem to me that needing another replacement makes me think that perhaps the last one was done incorrectly
Sprokets rarely wear , but the tensioners should be done
You could do it , it is tedious and exacting. many good threads about it here on this forum and other
An indy would probably charge 1500, an MB dealer -3 K
At 15 degrees of stretch are you having trouble setting timing?
Do you hear chain slap at start up?

there is an outside chance it is a broken or severly worn tensioner , chain may be OK
