Change timing chain tensioner & pad in valve cover?

I'm getting noise from top of valve cover from the timing chain slapping the pad in the valve cover when the throttle is released. I'm going to replace the pad in the valve cover and am wondering if I need to change the tensioner as well. I haven't checked to see if it needs to be changed but have heard that it will quiet the engine if it is changed, especially if it is the "old style" tensioner. What is an old style tensioner and if I have one should I change it?
