I did not mention, when I mess with the chain or tensioner on those, I
always just roll in a new chain and top rails along with the tensioner.

Hi Loren -
Changing the TC tensioner is easy as Kaleb suggested but that doesn't
address a possibly worn chain, guide/rail that may be badly worn.
They should be inspected IMO.
Good luck -

Should not take more than about 10 minutes to change, just take 2
bolts off, pull it out, put new one in, install bolts.

How long/difficult of a job is it to change the tensioner on the
3.8 gasser? How much stuff has to be taken off to get to the
tensioner?
Anyone able to get me the pdf for that job? (1985 380SL)
Daughter's Sl makes quite a clatter at startup at the front of the
right bank. It only lasts a second. Sounds like a tensioner
leaking down to me. Anybody got a better idea? ~130k on the car.
Chain is probably a little loose, but shouldn't need changing yet.
