Porsche 911T(70) engine rebuild

Hi All

I am interested in purchacing a 1970 911T but the owner says:

The Porsche 2.2 litre is famous for their poor timing chain tensioners. When they fail the cams jump time and usually bend valves. This has happened with this car. I am positive that at least one intake valve is bent. I don't have the equipment to do a leak down test so I don't know about the others.

My question is this must be an expensive fix. What Experience do others have. The rebuild would include the tensioner upgrade right? What would it cost? Other than this the car seems in good condition (body etc).
