not so fast..
Woah wait a minute...so instead of doing preventative maintenance, you'd rather also have to rebuild the engine because of all the valves and pistons slapping into each other when it does go?

i know the tensioners on the 4.6 tend to fail after around 100k miles. first youll get a tick as the chain is eating into the guides putting metal shavings into the oil then it fails all together which can lead to a rebuild.
its not a fix it when it breaks type part because by then its too late. damian's right.

^but there is no need to replace it if its not making any noises or causing any trouble. When you can start to hear it eating in to the guides I can understand fixing it but don't fix what's not broke.
