The OP did not reveal mileage which is definitely a factor. The thing about the early spring loaded tensioners is that they can "look good" at 20K miles and fail catastrophically at 21K miles. I know, a bit of an exageration but tensioners on my '02 FLHT were gone at 24K miles; the outer was done to the metal carrier. I was installing a cam but had I not, bad juju was headed my way. Tensioners on my '05 FXSTD were gone at 12K miles. Knowing they could go any time, I just decided to pull the cam cover and take a look.
I don't know what the OPs tensioners looked like and they may not be worn that much but I would bet a six pack that they are pitted and chunks are missing from both the outer and the inner. At a minimum, the OP should have had the OEM tensioners replaced with a set of CYCO tensioners. If money was driving the decision, the OP could pass on new lifters, inner cam bearings and lifters and eliminate the potential a future problem.
