If you think a kitten dies when you break a timing belt; breaking a chain tensioner pad is like wiping out an entire species.

No. A PPI may or may not catch the tensioner pad. I would take one with me and replace it on the spot before driving the car away. Also a timing belt.

Who was it that got an 'S' car after a PPI and 600 miles into the 1200 mile home the timing or pad broke?

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?

Never break more than you fix!
