I've searched and searched and I've not been able to find a DIY guide on replacing the timing chain. I downloaded the service manual and it describes removing the cylinder head but I also read a couple posts here and there where members on here did the job without removing the head.

Can anybody help me out with a few pointers?

My chain and guides were damaged from running skunk2 cams

I have heard you can change the chain by pulling the timing chain cover and droppping the oil pan. You need to remove the TCT I believe before you mess with the chain and guides. Only thing I don't understand is how you get the chain over the main cam gear on the head. Hopefully someone here can help you out! Good luck with it!!!

pull vc
pull cams
pull tct
pull camwheel
pull oil pan
pull timing cover

Thats it in very abbreviated form. No need to pull cylinder head.

x1 if you use the manual to do what Billman has listed, you'll be done in no time. Good luck

Thank you sir. I was wondering how to pull the chain off the cam sprocket.

are skunk2 cams known to cause issues? just wondering since i havent heard anything about it

crank

when you pull off the cam wheel be careful NOT to drop any small parts(washers/races) in that small compartment.
