When to replace Chain Ramps?

So I should have my case back in my hands in a few more days. I have everything ordered for my rebuild but a few items. Some of these items are the chain tensioner ramps. The engine is a 95 993. The ramps appeared in good order then I stripped the engine down. I know its usually a good practice to chain out wear items when doing a rebuild. Everything else is new in the engine. I am going to clean the hydraulic chain tensioners as well. Over my years or seeing 3.6 rebuilt on pelican in the past I havent seen anyone change these out during a rebuild as they tend to be pretty bullet proof when put in the correct position, lol. If they were cheap I would but they are pricey. So what say you guys?

I replaced mine. Cheaper than another tear down. I did not change the tensioner since I figured I could change them while the engine was in.
