1971 Honda CB500K · Camshaft drive Buying guide
These components serve different positions in the cam-chain system. The current selection includes a genuine Honda guide and damper, a replacement slipper, a tensioner listing and a two-bolt cam-sprocket package; they are not described as one combined kit.
Genuine Honda cam chain guideListed as genuine Honda with reference 14611-323-000. Compare the guide position and shape with the removed component; a guide is not the tensioner assembly.View part
Genuine Honda tensioner damperThe damper listing identifies Honda reference 14501-323-000. Treat it as a distinct component when comparing the guide, slipper and tensioner requirements.View part

Have the cam-drive system assessed and name the component being replaced. The guide, slipper and damper listings give useful reference numbers, but they do not establish which part has failed in your engine. Confirm any additional pieces needed rather than treating one listing as a complete repair kit.
Primary-drive rubber dampers serve the engine primary-drive assembly. They are not the cam-chain tensioner damper. Use the identified location and reference number to keep those two different damping components apart.
The guide listing identifies the guide itself against 14611-323-000. The tensioner and slipper are separate products in the current catalog. Do not assume a combined assembly or package quantity that the full listing does not state.
The guide is 14611-323-000, the slipper is 14520-323-000 and the damper is 14501-323-000. Match the removed component to its position and reference before ordering; these are separately supplied pieces within the cam-chain system.
The tensioner information also identifies chain stretch, worn guides, incorrect adjustment and other valvetrain wear as possible causes. Have the chain and related components assessed before deciding which parts to buy; a tensioner purchase alone is not a diagnosis.
