[Shotimes] Failing Cam Timing chain tensioner sound?

[van Oss]

I believe my 91 winter SHO (140K +) is making worn-front-cam-chain-tensioner
noise.  I have traced the sound to that area using a mechanic's stethoscope.
I describe is as a ticking sound, and it occurs in a specific RPM range,
maybe 2300-ish to 3300-ish.  Mallinson says changing the tensioner didn't
fix it for him.  Maybe it's slop in the chain itself?

Can anyone describe the sound a failing tensioner would make? I have this
wierd rattling sound that is only present from 3000rpm and up, but it only
happens some times.
