When you loose a tensioner, it’s immediate, you lost tension, jump time on the cam, wipe exhaust valves, break rockers, damage pistons.
The guards set the tensioner into mechanical mode with a minimal chain slap but doesn’t destroy one side of the motor.
As a note, the Carrera tensioners can fail and cause a loose chain and chain noise.
