JFP - I saw no code numbers as I was just scrolling down the Durametric menue, ticking the appropriate box I wanted the tool to interrogate. Ticked the Camshaft Pos #1 and #2 Deviation and it came up with the -5.26 and 0 results.

Is there a more positive way as determining chain tensioner wear or damage? Would a worn tensioner pad show up debris or particles in the oil filter?
I was about to change the oil & filter anyway....
Typically, yes, you should see some debris in the oil or/and filter; usually small plastic bits. You can see the wear pad on the upper (billet) tensioner from LN Engineering..........



What you don't want to see is this, as it comes with a lot of other headaches:
