I seriously doubt that changing the hydraulic tensioners is going to solve your problem.

First of all, was the car fully warmed up, as in driven at speed for at least 20 min. before taking the cam deviation values? If not, drive the car and recheck; these values can be all over the place on a cold or partially warmed engine.

A more likely candidate for excessive cam deviations on an early five chain engine would be the small wear paddles located in between the cams; these are a common weakness on the five chains.
