One of the common methods is to use a small wedge of wood that you slide down inside the loop of the timing chain.  The gregories manual has a pretty good description and diagram, I'm sure you could borrow it from the local library or buy a copy.

ps  No 'may fall out about it', it WILL fall out and require the whole timing cover to come of if you don't secure the chain tensioner.

Subject: Head off time

Listers,
    It seems that the time has come to pop the head off the L20B to see where my headgasket leak is. I have been told that when i remove the timing chain, the tensioner may fall out and go in the sump. Any bright ideas on how to keep the tensioner in its place while i rip off the head ??
 
        Thanks
            `Wayne
