Timing Chain Guide Advise

While I have things opened up I am staring at the timing chain tensioner guides. They have a bit of wear. The flat guides have a groove with a max depth measured at .004". The tensioner guides have a groove with a max depth measured at .041". The wear is mostly at the end where it looks like the chain deflects the most. Should I replace these, or is this acceptable wear? Motor has 118k miles.

Looks like I would need to remove the oil pump housing to extract the bolts that hold the guides on the front of the motor.
