Is it a double roller type chain? I know quite a few of them do not require a tensioner, just the oil slinger. On the mags with a cloyes chain I have never run a tensioner and it works great. The chain is so tight new it can be difficult to install.
The chain WILL be tight new. The fact of the matter remains that chains stretch, and VERY quickly. That's WHY I use a tensioner.
As far as TurboCuda's problem, I'm wondering if you have excessive cam walk...I pulled down a motor this past winter that I'd been running for a couple years and found NO appreciable wear on any part of it. Makes me wonder why yours is wearing so harshly...
