Do you know how to reset it to refit?No sealant on head gasket. Renew oil way o ring left rear corner of block put a smear of sealant on o ring. Make sure tensioner is clean there is a small oilway through it. Fiddly job to get back in. Clean small gauze filter in cylinder head under oil feed banjo bolt that feeds timing chain tensioner.

Many thanksAlan key in back turn key 90 and it should retract and hold plunger back. 3 mm Alan key I seem to remember. When installed turn key back and it pops back out.
Had that happen to my car. Unfortunately it was the bottom chain tensioner and was a massive pain.This video explains them:
If you can get hold of a NOS Renolds tensioner they are better. Rolon bought out Renolds I think. The plastic pad falls off the Rolon tensioner. If you do have to use a Rolon tensioner then keep an eye on the pad via the oil filling hole!
