Hey guys,

Can you pull the timing chain cover without dropping the oil pan? I was going to replace the chain & guides while I have the head off, but the manual says you have to remove the oil pan. I just had the oil pan off a few months back, but don't remember what the mating surface between the pan and front cover looks like. Considering what a PITA it was to pull the pan I would probably wait until I have the motor out this winter if that is the case.

Thanks,
Earl
