The chain tensioner is mechanical. The part which presses against the chaain is a rod with saw tooth loaded by a spring. So the toothed rod goes only one way. There is a similar but smaller mechanical tensioner for the balance chain.
You can replace the timing chain tensioner rather easily. To replace the balance chain tensioner you have to open up the timing chain cover.
