the cam chain tensioner is on the rear right side of the motor.. what i useally do is take the sproket off the came and leave it on the chain.. do not allow the chain to drop in the motor put a piecs of string or wire trew the cam sproket then just bolt the sprocket back on when you reinstall the cam. hope this helps!
