If you are not tensioning your chain, then why do you have bearing blocks instead of just placing the bearings in the tube? If you have milled slots in your tubing and bearing blocks like you mentioned, it is a simple addition to have cam tensioners added in that could easily stop a potential problem from happening. They're no work at all for a season-long reassurance.
