Ecotec Oil starvation

so, after reading a few things here and there, ive decided i should probably replace the timing chain tensioner in my car. the motor being from a 2002 saturn l200, means it has the old style tensioner and they are prone to failure and ruining heads. anyone have any experience with this? supposedly GM started using a revised tensioner in 03 and up. but people have had the old style in 05s.
so should i invest as a precautionary thing or what?

Yes, there's a guide with pictures on www.j-body.org. I can try and find it.

You should do this.

is this the new style tensioner? if so i will be ordering this pretty quickly. even if the motor has this style in it i will still replace it.
