No.
At first glance,one might think it could be pulled off...but nope..
Prob is that the tensioner guides on a lower sort of fulcrum pin,and this will in effect together with the lenght of the tensioner make a swap a no can do as you wonŽt be able to get the tensioner either in or out really.

A word of advice.
The OEM headbolts in plain english sux.
Have them swapped for a set of M12*110 allen of 12.9 quality.
Torq head to 10kgm...have the engine heat cycled a couple of times and retorq the head again.
You will NEVER have a blown headgasket EVER again.

Pumps seldom go awol on the 102 engine.
What does is the pressure relief valve.
Reason being that someone didnŽt do their homework as merc as the plunger(piston) is out of stainless and it registers and runs in a cast aluminium housing-which over time will make the pressure relief valve gall-which will make it stick-and always half way of course.
Easy to remedy though.
Just ram a piece of wood up the fabled behind of the relief valve and smear it with some fine valve cutting compound and go at it.
Couple of time up and down does it,and be sure to clean the bore out with the degreaser as youŽre done.

As for the fuelwash...
Depending of the amount of money youŽre willing to part with...toss the POS KE out of there and go stand alone.
YouŽll never look back.
Trust me on that.
