Also don't forget to take the new tensioner and put it in a cup of fresh engine oil and compress it a few times to prime it. this is important to ensure when you start the car for the first time it is able to apply tension right away. If not it will need a bit to fill with oil allowing the chain to smack around.
You can confirm this by pulling an old one and try to compress it and compare to the new one before priming and then after.
Im sure you are aware but all three tensions are different and have rings on them so you can ID them. The engine will have matching ring marks on the engine.
