For those who have made the conversion from spring loaded tensioners to hydraulic tensioners via the "hybrid" camplate kit and have inspected for wear after a considerable amount of miles (25K+), how is the wear on the inner tensioner that still uses the Morse chain?  There was always some question in my mind as to how much of the wear was due to the heavy spring tension vs. the Morse chain design.  I would guess most of the aggressive wear is due to the high spring tension but even under lower tension the inherent design of that Morse chain could still chew up the plastic tensioner shoe.
