cheers buddy,ive just replaced the head and at the same time fitted all the above so at most im getting new gaskets for it. im going to try a new chain tensioner first and if it doesnt clear i will be stripping it by the looks of it

sorry ive had a bit of a search but is it possible to remove all the timing chain cover from the cam cover right down to the crank as i have an annoying rattle which isnt the tensioner and would like to investigate to see if i possibly dropped something down there or if a tensioner guide has broken?

basically can i fully expose the timing chain from top to bottom without disturbing too much?
