Have you checked that the rocker cover seal is correctly placed. Sometimes they bulge out when refitting the cover to the head especially at the rear where you cant see easily.

When replacing the tensioner I use teflon tape as used on household plumbing. A lot cheaper than buying a tube of silicone. Probably low risk, but I'm a bit cautious about putting silicone on the tensioner threads. Murphy's law ...sure as eggs, silicone will end up into the oil port that feeds the tensioner.
