Ok so i have this motor noise(scraping/grinding)that sounds like it is coming from the top front of the motor. Im assuming cam chain or tensioner or cam related... Before I order and gasket and tear the top off the motor etc.. i was wondering if somone on here can give me a better step by step instruction of how to adjust the tensioner on a 1981 cb750k obviously the DOHC. Video would be ideal, pictures would be great but ill settle with a step by step directions. Ive heard that if you do it wrong the tensioner will fall into the block causeing me a major headache. I cant figure out what im doing wrong with my research but I personally dont like the manuals way of explaining and people online are saying different things and confusing me. You people have never set me up for failure so I come here again for an answer.

Thank you for all who answer.
