Remove the center bolt/springs and THEN remove the tensioner (Failing to do this will fully extend the tensioner and give you a false check) . Be careful not to catch the tip when removing it from the engine. You can then see how far it is extended and if the tip is worn. If it is fully extended it would need a new cam chain, as the chain would be stretched further than any I have seen. If the tip is worn replace the tensioner. If neither of those is the case replace the tensioner gasket and re install.
To install the tensioner compress the plunger all the way, install the tensioner into the block with the locking paw down. Once installed in the block, install the springs & center bolt and tighten. Installation complete.
