I vote for replacing the seal ring only, and torquing the tensioner to spec. I can look up the spec if you need it.

If you have the spec that'd be great. I'm gonna locate the seal ring part number as well.
I'm also not a huge fan of trying to tighten a tensioner in an aluminum head. Sounds risky...
