afaik you should change rollers and tensioner with the cambelt.
If you've lost power then I suspect the alignment of the camshaft/crankshaft wasn't spot on when the belt was put on.

Can you give us some background of the issues?

The variable adjuster on the exhaust cam is very reliable and Ive only ever replaced one due to the mounting pin snapping on removal.
