That turned out pretty decent looking. Welcome back.

What does that mean, "you extended the tensioner a couple of mm"?  The only way I know to mitigate the tensioner problem without replacing it is to replace the cam chain.  Do you mean you were able to loosen the tensioner and move the body a couple mm toward the chain and thereby push the plunger back into the body a couple of mm?  If so, that is a temporary fix I've not encountered in reading all the multiple threads on the tensioner problem.

Got it!

And I should have said: "The only way I know to mitigate the tensioner problem without replacing it WITH A VERSLAVY TENSIONER is to replace the cam chain."

You can modify the tensioner. Weld a tab on it and make it longer. The chain isn't out of tolerance yet..
