primary chain tensioner failure?

Anyone ever experience a primary chain tensioner failure? I get a loud clicking noise when I accelerate hard. I believe I have eliminated most of the other possibilities. At first I thought it was ignition or fuel causing a misfire condition. Both systems seem to be ok. I thought it could be a CV joint, but I would believe that would just fail, or at least the noise would be rather constant. The motor mounts are not great but are passable. I drove the car with the hood off to see if it was the engine vibrating on the mounts. Its fine.
What would the symptoms of a primary chain/tensioner failure?
