What is your question?
The camshaft solenoid was replaced to fix check engine light with fault code P0024. Check engine light reappeared after a month with same fault code. I was advised that I now need to replace the timing chain, tensioners, and guides. According to the technician, the timing chain may have stretched a bit because of wear and tear. Which is causing the check engine light to reappear.

Depending on mileage and if you hear a rattling noise on cold starts you may not have a timing chain issue. I would recommend logging the cam sensor data to determine if the timing is off. I had a similar situation caused by a intermittent connection at the ECM cause cam codes and limp mode on acceleration. Timing chains are very expensive so I recommend spending time confirming it with proper diagnostics. The trick is finding someone with the knowledge and experience to do it.
