Sorry.. Cam chain and timing chain are the same item. Just used cam chain as it's unambiguous.. or not :-) Cam sprockets do wear and if te wear is visible best to replace them as worn ones can eat up a fresh chain rather quickly. Timing chain tensioner is of steel bore and durable. I believe the Balance tensioner is of aluminum.
Not replaced one, so no firsthand knowledge on that gizmo.
Balance assembly has little actual loading. So barring some design/materials bungle (like the first ones) The assemnly 'should' be durable.. Only way to be sure is to carefully inspect it. It will be 'in your face' doing the timing chain /sprockets, so wear will be obvious.
