If your chain is out of spec the theory goes, you may need an out of spec tensioner. I guess I would try a 3rd party spring that was just mildly stronger and if that did not help buy one just a little bit stronger, until the noise goes away. Assuming this actually works of course and assuming you are willing to take the risk.

Later I found mention of other people who have reported good results using the spring for an M54 tensioner in their M62 tensioners. You can buy the M54 spring online for $5 US.
