oh .. more:
To adjust it once you are done working on the engine... fire it up... let it warm up.. and then turn the 14mm nut Counter clockwise to take up the slack in the chain and then clockwise something like 10-12 ftlbs .. got a torque wrench ? to set it to spec( Actually.. give me about 2 hrs and i'll quote the clymer for ya to make sure i got it rigth.. )

ANOTHER detail:
When you look the the T mark on the flywheel... you have to line up the bar next to it with the notch on the tranny casing.. not the T itself... .look carefully for that mark NEXT to the " T ".. kinda like " T l " or it might look like " l T "
EDIT : Btw .. i would have edited my original post and added all this info instead of replying 10 times... but i want to make sure he reads the updates i added.... LOL.. sorry guys.

As per Clymer:
Page 50.. Cam Chain Tensioner Adjustment:
With time, the camshaft chain and guide will wear and develop slack. This will cause engine noise and if neglected too long will cause engine damage.
1. . set brake.. yadya...
2. start engine and let it reach normal operating temp.. shut off engine
3. Connect a portable tachometer
4. Remove ruber cap located behind cylinder on left side of crankcase
5. Restart engine and let it idle at 1400 rpm
6. Loosen the adjuster. The tensioner will automatically adjust to the correct tension.. retighten the adjuster bolt to 11-16 Ft.-Lb ( 11-16 N.m )
7. Install the rubber boot
8. turn off engine and disconect the tach.
You don't really need the tach.. 1400 is basically idle and a bit higher....
I was close.
