Before changing your tensioner maybe you should pinpoint the problem.
I'm not a mechanic so I figure that anytime I change a part there is at least a 25% chance I will make it worse.

Have you tried adding Mystery Oil?
Can anyone second this recommendation?


I've never worked on a timing chain, but can you inspect it?
Could you manually rotate it by say turning the main pulley? You might see a wonky link.
