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.
