LNF tensioner maintenance
I guess this is why i will be changing mine every year for good preventative maintenance. $50 is cheap for peace of mind. I believe these are 1 of the culprits for timing chain stretching as well.
I installed a brand new one last year when i upgraded the valve springs. Not even 5k on this.

stock springs should not be run passed 6500. even thought theres a lot of people out here they are not designed for that type of load.
if you want to rev out to 7 do valve springs. the k04+ is really pretty much out of steam at anything passed 6700. a built head will benefit anyone if its done properly
also its NOT uncommon for those retainer clips to break and thats probablly what happened to your tensioner. we have had them let loose at speed and ont he track believe or not. we usually put a couple tack welds on them or you can put a small amount of jb weld in a section to help keep the clip in.
