Well I have decided against the tensioner.

I have a friend who offered me a brand new comp cams timing set in the box for a really good price, and he is local, so that makes it easier since no one around here carries the tensioner (although Todd aka Competition Wedge was going to take care of me real nice)

After looking at pictures of those tensioners over and over, especially the ones of the wear, it got me thinking that even once it wears properly, where does all the "worn off stuff" go? I think im just going to stick with a good chain for now, and maybe do a gear drive on the next motor if it really bugs me

Thanks for all the input everyone!
