A registered member of the forum... for only about a week... pm'd me about getting the head off his 615 engine. He has no posts to the forum.

I don't know why he did not post a thread so more knowledge could be accessed... but I have looked at my paper 615,616,617na manual and am not able to find anything which seems helpful...

He is stranded in Spain, got burned on his arm during the overheating incident which is causing the need to take off the head... and just got out of the hospital having been treated for that burn... he needs to take the boat back to Portugal...

Anyway, for whatever reason he did not start a thread himself, I am asking for any insight on this issue :

He is needing to take the head off the 615.
He has the model (B) tensioner... the cast framework one.
The book tells how to take model (A) tensioner slipper... very thin --off.

It says not to take the model (B) tensioner off when doing the head removal.

Is there anything more to this picture I , or he , does not see ?
for the husker type tensioner .... does it just stay in place nicely ?
Is he imagining a problem he actually does not have .... the need to remove the style tensioner he has ?

Thanks,
Greg
