Maybe you chain is too long?
I use AE chains. I found them to be the shortest on the market.

Never had a broken tensioner.

    Amici, I took my engine apart this weekend and found another broken
timing
    chain tensioner.  This is the 3rd or 4th one that has broken (not all
with
    this same block).  Some have broken in a season or less, while this one
was
    used last season and then failed sometime this season.  These have been
from
    the 3 major parts suppliers, but I did not keep track of which one was
from
    who.


    Any suggestions on oned that seem to last longer than others, or what I
am
    doing wrong that is causing the failures?  They are not wearing thru, but
    rather are snapping off about an inch from the pivot.  Any better
designed
    tensioners out there for the tractor motors?  Joe(B)
