Once the timing cover has been removed and timing marks are aligned do I have to remove timing chain tensioner?

Hi,

On this engine, you don't need to touch the timing chain for a head gasket replacement. The cylinder head is removed without chain removal.

I attached a picture below showing the head being removed. Let me know if I am wrong and you are replacing the timing chain

Take care,

Joe
