As you may already know, there are many problems associated with the stock timing chain tensioner.

Here are some of the most common problems
that develop with the stock unit:

-The timing chain stretches and the guides wear over
 time creating excessive slack in the overall assembly.

-When throttle is lifted after a high rpm pull, the sudden 
change in momentum causes excessive slack in the timing chain. 
This also causes a sudden change in oil pressure 
in the stock tensioner.

-Sudden downshifts in the transmission or engine braking also
 further exaggerates the slack in the chain mechanism.

-Installing higher tension valve springs and high lift 
camshafts will also contribute to the problem with chain slack.

-The most common problem is the noise associated with start-up
and idling, which has to do with lack of oil pressure behind
the tensioner piston and excessive wear on the worn screw gear.
