FWIW,
I bought my 82 SC w/178k on it from a mech. engineer who'd owned it for 12 years, did his own valve adjustments, etc. and said he'd researched the topic & decided not to spend the money to upgrade the tensioners, based on what he'd read regarding his 82 and later SC factory changes that had been made relating to previous year's problems.
I had the car gone through thoroughly after I bought it and had the Carrera tensioners installed to play it safe, even though no bad noises were coming from the engine.
