Chain noise?

I have rebuilt a V8 before, cracking open the boxster engine is intimidating.

Did you have classic cold start noise or other symptoms that prompted replacing tensioners? Did you change all 3 and notice any difference in noise or otherwise?

I had a little noise. I think it is a little better. I have no emperical evidence to support the reduction. I was in there doing the other work, the cams were locked. The funds were available, and compared with the moeny it would have cost me to have a indie do the work, I spent the cost savings on doing much more work.
