I wouldn't start it again till I solved this. IF the tensioner lets go, the spring goes in polaces that won't tolerate it, the chain can come off the sprocket & cam stick valves in the piston. The cam chain making noise is, to me, a very serious thing to be dealt with immediately. Others may not feel so strongly,Lets wait & see.

In any event get back in there and fix it. NOW!
