That looks like the cam timing chain tensioner.

Part 24 is the tensioner, 37 is the metal seal ring

Cheers for that, so is it ok to give it a nip, or am I altering the tension on the cam chain?

Sorry, now I get it, theres a spring behind the bolt which applies the tension, I probably need the O-rings as well

Indeed a cam chain tensioner. Don't unscrew it unless your engine is locked at TDC. If you don't know what that means, don't unscrew it.
