Default Cam chain tensioner - is it bad?

I’m in the middle of TB job now.
When I turn crank bolt "cam chain tensioner" is going UP and Down - is this mean that tensioner is BAD? Or it’s supposed to go UP and Down.

I’m not sure if my engine sound like diesel BUT, besides the sound like diesel what other symptoms of Bad "Cam chain tensioner"?

Car: 99.5 2.8 V6 30V Auto, 95k miles.

Don't know if the chain moving is normal or not since I did not replace mine but it started with a cold start diesel sound that went away after a few seconds, then all of a sudden after getting warm it just crapped the bed and was extremely noisy unless I kept the rpms above 1500.
