986 chain tensioners

I have a 2001 Boxster with 80,000 Kilometres and there sounds like chain tensioner rattling on cold start. At this age and Kilometres should I expect to be replacing the chain tensioners?

My 2004 has the chain tensioner rattle on cold start up. It has done 132,000ks. My indie says the rattle is normal. No plastic or steel bits in oil filter, so keep driving, just don’t drive them hard when engine is cold.
