According to the official
Honda Service Manual there is no adjustment. If the cam chain is worn/stretched, it needs to be replaced.
Here is a direct quote from the manual: "Measure the amount of the cam chain tensioner projects as shown (there is an illustration). Replace the cam chain with a new one if the projection exceeds 9.0mm (0.35 in)."
You need two chains and the part is obsolete. Here is some info from

The 83 & 84 Ascot share the same
engine as the vt500c. It may be easier to find the parts in the UK than in the USA.
If it is just a little noise try to live with it.
I hope this helps. Rod
ok have spare tensioner units. Is it possible to change these without taking the whole engine out?
