Depends on what kind of vehicle it is. On most you have to drop the oil pan, pull the water pump, pull the valve covers and sometimes the heads, but not always, and pull the timing chain cover to get to it. You will probally have to pull the distributor out as well. There should be timing marks on the timing pullies that need to be lined up when you change the chain. Your best bet for this job is to get a good manual and read up on it, then follow it step by step.

How do you adjust timing chain on a Honda xr600?
You cannot adjust the tensioner. It is automatic, and takes out the slack of a stretching/aging cam chain. Once the tensioner has fully extended, the only fix is to replace the chain and the part of the tensioner the chain rides on if it is worn.
What does it mean if you replace your timing chain on a 96 Saturn and then it immediately needs to replaced again?
That ACTUALLY means that you probably didn't need to replace the timing chain in the first place. If you did it yourself, did you replace the tensioning rails? Check to see if they're worn. Note that one of the tensioning rails connects to a piston actuated tensioner assembly; if it isn't functioning properly the timing chain tension will not be maintained. Also, if the engine has low oil pressure, the tensioner will not function properly and you may end up with a loose timing chain.

How do you tighten timing chain?
You did not list Make, Model, Year, or Engine Size. So all I can tell you is that the vast majority of vehicles with a timing chain have a self tensioner that keeps the tension tight. If the chain it loose or noisy then it is more than likely worn out or the tensioner needs replacing or both.
