Everything about him being at 8000-9001 or whatever the gap is, is completely speculative. We don't know where he was, and we don't know where Krillin was. All we know is going by the last recorded BPs, Krillin (75,000) > Tenshinhan (~1,800 or so)? And then they both trained during the 3 year gap. We have characters confirm Krillin is still the strongest even in the Buu arc.
Source or it didn't happen. Krillin would not have been 75,000 on Namek. Recoome was around 40,000. And Tenshinhan would not have stayed 1,800 after training with King Kai. It may be speculation, but we do know this:
1) Goku trained under King with a power less than 1000, walked out between 8000-10,000. That's a fact.
2) Vegeta had a power level of 18,000 on Earth. That's a fact.
3. Krillin's potential unlock shot him up. Speculation perhaps, but consensus would agree that at max, he would be slightly stronger than Vegeta was on Earth, but more than likely weaker than Vegeta on Earth, so we could say 10,000-20,000.
If Tenshinhan was between 1200 and 1800 on Earth, then went to train with King Kai, what would be his power level when he was brought back to life. Looking at Goku's gain, Tenshinhan would have to have been equal or less than to Goku. At the very least, could kill Nappa. So speculation perhaps, but leaving King Kai's planet, let's say his power level went up to 6,000. Taking Krillin's max power, and Tenshinhan's likeliest lowest power gain, would leave them at a 14,000 gap between them. Then 3 years pass as they train. Then seven years pass and only Tenshinhan is still training. You can even give them a 20,000 pl gap, after seven years of Krillin being a family man, how wouldn't Tenshinhan have caught up?
It's in the actual manga.
