Re: timing chain
Hi, on the opposite side of the cylinder head to the cover is a 10mm hex head bolt un do this bolt and the cover will come off.

Once removed, make sure the dot on the cam sprocket aligns with the mark on the cylinder head, while the flywheel is set correctly on the 'T' mark.
Also, check the condition of the sprockets, the chain, and the automatic or manual tensioner.
