With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Yes, the pre-98's cam tension spring goes bad semi-regularly (every decade?), esp. with use of poor/cheap oils (engine oil can sludge up the tensioner button -- the eraser end of a pencil or a hollow bic pen tube may be able to clear the sludge if you push it through, if it's just sludge).
For your reference
Pre-98 cam tensioner springs - top is brand new, bottom is bad):

Originally posted by SaraGood to know. I'm paying to have my "cam chain tensioner" replaced on my pre-98. Now I know it's just a spring.
The cam chain tensioner assembly includes the spring shown above, a button that rides against the cam chain guide or the cam chain, a seal, and the body to hold it. The entire assembly is quite a bit more expensive than just the spring -- and the criteria on whether the replace the full assembly or just the spring is usually down to what condition the button is in.
