ok, a buddy of mine bought it....I get to fix it.  DOHC CB900F....on teardown...how do you get the exhaust cam out?  Am I missing something?  There is no releasing the tension on the long cam chain and both the adjusters are backed out completely. Any Ideas.....cutting chain is simple......but I need to also put this back together in reverse of coming apart.

Guys on here have DOHC Hondas so will probably be able to help.

You could always ask the experts on www.cb1100f.net or www.cb900c.com

thanks........turns out the tensioner in question was broken, taking one out of a 900 custom motor.......also found a copy of the factory service manual............nice how they explain more than a haynes or clymer manual.
