Do you know if it is an automatically adjusted tensioner, or if it has to be adjusted manually?
Awaiting a response from CSC as to what to do next.

One quick (and easy) thing you can do is to remove one of the cam window plugs and the crankshaft plug, then with your hex wrench, rotate the engine forward until you see one of the cam marks, then rotate the crank backwards ( it will be harder) and note how much or little the crank moves before the cam does. Repeat a few times until you are certain the chain is either tight or loose. If loose, then likely the tensioner or one of the shoes is needing attention.
Alternatively, you may be able to removed the tensioner assembly (carefully avoiding damaging the gasket) and check that it's parts are working as they should.
Note: just before posting this I see Spud has also chimed in.
Edit: I see you got here also, JB.
