Just to be sure...upper accessory idler is right by the cover and grinds when dying, I assume you eliminated that.
It is probably tensioners but there's a few things to check before that. Having no sludge or oil pressure problems sorta flies against the chain idea. Bad timing chain tensioner is rare, but it happens, that one installs externally. Also, the guide pad in the cover has been known to wear and allow noises. With lots of miles, I found searching the 900 and 9k boards for mechanical engine info is useful.
Original clutch at 180K is a service life and a half. If somehow you got this far, could it be the cable (whose service life is anywhere between lifetime and 5000 miles)?
