I wouldn't bother for a single valve which is one thou tight. Frankly I doubt that the accuracy of the measurement is that good, anyway... most of us use feeler gauges which are made from shim stock and which probably have a tolerance of +/- .0003 to begin with, and then because of the valve geometry we can't get the feeler gauge in exactly square.

The general rule is to change the tensioner at every other belt change. But if the bearings make noise as you describe, change it regardless of the mileage.
