Could be faulty tensioner, if its not a faulty tensioner, then If it only rattles on start up could mean that the chain has actually stretched... The lifter noise is probably caused by this as well, if the chain has stretched and hasn't got tension then the valves move at the wrong time. I'd say try another tensioner first...

Could be broken tensioner or a broken chain guide causing the issues. A stretched chain is usually rare...well I hardly hear about that kind of issue. I'd check for any broken chain guides and check the tensioner. Pull the tensioner out, give it a clean, replace the o-rings and hopefully all will be okay.
