Timing Chain

So I went through the decision making process about a tensioner. Smart people with actual experience did not agree. I put one in. Three years later I pull it apart and the guides are hammered and broken in half. The flat spring is trying to eat its way through the cover. No more tensioners for me. I buy the roll master with the IWIS chain. Been in there 4-5 times since and it is still tight. Finally replaced it two years ago, but kept the old one. No real idea why, just was bugging me. They should be tight. Tensioner is a bandaid for an improper fitting set.
