Can i reset Chain tensioner?

Went to change my cams and the tensioner over tightened the chain. Can't figure out how to reset it. Is it possible?

Hey dude. Remove tensioner and Push and twist the mechanism in the cylinder of the tensioner... That will lock it for installation. Once its all back together and you want it ready to run. Press the chain tensioner once more to then free the tensioner to make contact with the chain.

Push in complete ... Then twist. The tensioner has two parts... The block and the pad. The pad slides its shaft in to the block. You can separate the two items. Inside the shaft is a little ratchet mechanism. Push that in completely and then turn clockwise I believe.

Then rebuild the parts. The pad should remain tight to the block. Press the pad in and then to ratchet mech will release and extend out... Essentially tensioning the chain.
