You can't pull valve cover off to check it has a chain guide on top. Just tightened by hand then turned about a 1/4 turn and locked it sounds perfect
75,000+ miles and never any noise or failure. Not sure why others have had issues. Of course, I'm probably one of the very few to have 2 separate coolant pump seal failures...
Replaced tensioner at 9,800 miles. Recently (31,000 miles) had problems so lubed up original and put back in - fixed the problems while I get around to ordering one. Seems like the tensioner does not get much lubrication so winds up somewhat starved for lubrication.
Wonder if CCT failure and type of oil has any relevance.
I have almost 15k miles and never had a problem.

If you are at TDC, your valves are all closed. So unless your chain already jumped, doing this is not required.
