at 170,000 miles I was getting a lot of noise from that end of the valve cover. When I removed the tensioner, it was extended about 12.5 mm and I had read somewhere that 11 mm was the service limit. The sprockets showed no sign of wear and there was no visual indication that the chain had stretched. When I replaced the chain, tensioner, and valve cover guide, the noise disappeared, so I thought is was a worthwhile $70 investment for the peace of mind it brought.
Of course, the fact that my other car (a 1991 2.3L turbo) snapped a timing chain last fall (took me a month to get it back on the road) had nothing to do with my decision.
