When you are building these a couple things are IMPORTANT as far as the chain package goes. First is to NOT USE any chain that has the name ROLON stamped on the links. They are made in India, and the only two chains I have ever broken both came from them. One of those two was a Cammer and it cost me a ton of money to fix. They are a very common supplier for private branded stuff, and are suppliers for some of the Cammer sets out there.

Next is to look very, very carefully at the chain alignment relative to the block, heads, and sprockets. I think the aluminum tensioner is getting the blame for other issues. When we assembled our first all aftermarket Cammer we discovered that the stands, heads, tensioners, block were not in good agreement as to "front to back" alignment. We ended up doing a fair amount of machining/correction and it was amazing how much smoother the engine turned once that was straightened out.
