Are you claiming the 4.0 does use a tensioner ?

Ok, let me put you out of your obvious misery.....

There is a bumper for the chain in the 4.0 and in the 4.2, but it is
just the rattle noise when things finally stretch. Even new, the 4.2
has over 10 deg of back slop, no tensioner, haven't checked the 4.0, but
bet it's close, same block.

I even phoned my local Jeep dealer to make sure I wasn't mistaken.

I was also making a fool out of you, my apologies.

You do have some decent knowledge on some things but on others you are
'way' off base.

When you send a block in for refinishing and get a main crank and cam
turn/grind, they turn the block 10 thousands over to make it perfectly
straight.

At the same time you are likely getting the crank turned 10 under to
make it like new.

The machine shop then gives you a bearing 'with plastigauge' that is ten
over 'and' ten under.

This keeps the crankshaft 'exactly' centered where it was new.

You come home and plastigauge it to verify their work, then you assemble
it. 'With the 'same' bearings Eh!'

On the Jeep 4.0 and 4.2 block, the oil boss has codes stamped. You can
have a block already turned 10 over from the factory. Still no chain
tensioner....
