I've been thinking about this for a couple of days while I gear up for it. Has anyone successfully removed the timing cover without removing the head first? I think I know the answer but any reply would help settle my curiosity.

I think it has been done, but, the oil pan DEFINITELY has to be dropped then.

i belive i have heard of people pulling the timing chain cover and leaving the head, but its hard to get a good seal between the timing chain cover and head again.
