Do you have a reference for this? I just had a look in my curvy and my pointy service manual and I see no mention of the cam chain tensioner in the periodic maintenance table? Obviously they have to be removed to re-shim the valves which involves slackening them off.
They are fully automatic tensioners, even if they aren't hydraulically controlled and don't work as well as they should.
