cam chain tensioner slippe broke?

Eldrick:
I belive my cam chain tensioner slippe is broke. This image is of the bottom/lower end of the slipper should I be replacing the slipper?

If it is broke, is that bottom end meant to hook over a pin or does it just drop down and rest on 'something'?

Also, if broken, is it likely that the broken part comes out during oil changes?

The bike has been running I am just doing a gasket change due to a recent oil leak and can't say I hear any odd sounds making me think some metal is in the engine.

Bryanj:
Its normaly a steel piece formed into a circle that drops into a rubber cup in the cam chain tensioner horseshoe.
Possibly that is a pattern part i dont know

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Is it a 350 or a 400?

It is from my 400.
I think I will buy a proper 'genuine' one as it seems to be a bit of a critical part that I don't want to be 'cheap'.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As Bryan has said there is a loop at the end that sits in the tensioner cup with a plastics clip type arrangement.
