my 06 egc had about 15k when I installed it.
Seems fine except I may have gotten it a little snug as I get some audible hum from chain rubbing across the nylon shoe.
But if you're concerned put a new chain on at same time.
When installing make sure to rock the engine crankshaft back and forth a couple times with a wrench on the compensator to take up the slack.
Let the adjuster do it automatically, don't pry it or force it tighter.
And you should be fine.
