2.8L 30 Valve Cam Chain Tensioners
Does anyone know if the chain tensioners are common wear parts? Can you replace them from the topside? Is there a way to diagnose a bad one? I have alot of noise that to me sounds like 'chain slap' sounds similar to to when a chainsaw chain is too loose.

replacing them requires to do a total timing belt job on the car.

They are not common wear parts, but when the plastic guides break, they made a fair amount of noise.
Take a look, but be advised that the lower guide is hard to see without removing the adjuster.
