I don't think he meant there is an updated tensioner. He meant, update the
new timing chain by using the new tensioner. New as in, wasn't a factory
part.

If there is an updated tensioner, I'd like to know the difference too.

How do we make sure to get the updated tensioner and not the old
style?

What is the difference between the two, and when did they switch?

I have a cloyes chain for an LA 318. Will that fit?
