The tensioners should hold up very well, unless there has been an oil starvation incident/situation.

Has physical inspection revealed if there is any significant wear on the tensioners, any of the gears, or the stud.

I bought the engine in pieces (P.O. did disassembly), so I didn't have the advantage of seeing what it looked like as it came apart.

There is very little wear on any of the timing chain components. I'm not planning to replace any of them.
