There is a procedure for checking the chain tensioner in the
manuals. Maybe someone can chime in with the job number. While you are in
there, check the chain timing. the easiest way to get a clue about the
chain is to line up the crank to TDC and look to see how well the notch in
the cam washer lines up with the mark on the side of the front cam tower
(on the right side). If the notch v is outside the timing mark, you should
measure the chain stretch.
If you can move the chain that much, you have a problem there.
My guess is that you need to replace the chain and tensioner.

Hey thanks loren!
I thought it was the chain, but I just popped hte
valve covers and find that the cahin looks really
tight (maybe a 1/4" play?) does hat sound about
right? It doesn't look worn or anything ....
but maybe it loosens up under power????/
