Frankly, there are those who would not worry much at all about your tensioners. The '82 SC had the upgraded chain wheel carriers, which provided better geometry. Some say the older chain wheel carriers were much of the reason for tensioner failure. Collars alone would be a reasonable final fix for your car, actually. And then, if there is a future failure (unlikely, many would say), your valves will not get bent.
