Hello, im getting ready to change my timing chain and i was wondering if anyone else pulls off the head when they do this? the fsm recommends taking off the head. I can see why because it would make taking the timing cover off much easier. Or should i just try to put the cover on with the head on. I have a friend telling me that he has left the head on his ka24e when he did his timing chain (timing cover is similar to an sr). Also, if i take off my head that means im going to need a new head gasket, right? What hg do you guys recommend?
