Aye the tensioner can be temperamental if it isn't maintained, i'd treat it as a wearing part.Glass timing chain assembly, but I agree. Train engine.
Not too difficult to replace
There was a hd kit available a few year ago with a duplex chain and reinforced crank cog.

Not for mpg or performance but maybe reliability. The later diesel engines are way better although also bigger so performance per cc might not be as good.
