 Dakota,
That sounds quite ingenious, but scary.

I wonder about putting a locking nut on the stud that goes through the excentric spindle into the block and unscrewing the stud out of the block. Then if the stud can be pulled out through the spindle, the whole tensioner could just be lifted out past the timing marker. My concern is that the stud may be frozen in the block and would strip out the threads in the aluminum block.

Any thoughts?
