it is more complicated than changing a Timing Belt
1 make sure to have some jack stands or wood blocks to suspend engine
2 remove a)valve cover (top and lateral), b)put engine on No 1 on TDC, c) mark camshaft as a safety.
3 the guide pins of the camshafts should be at I: 9 oclok E: 12 oclock when viewing from front of engine. Actually Intake is about 8:50 a few deg. below 9.
4 remove engine support that stands front of No1 piston (pasgr. side)
5 be sure to suspend egine safely
6 remove, and, or, disconnect: belts, water pump, chain tensioners (both), damper. drain engine of coolant
7 using blocks or stands to suspend engine (I leaned against the gearbox and I did fine) remove the cross member disconnecting it previously from engine, disconnect the exhaust pipe
8 remove oil pan and oil sump (draining previously)
9 remove, all I mean all the bolts that holds the chain cover carefully they are quite hidden
10 if it is done carefully a few hammering with a heavy piece of wood , it shoud pop off
11 assuming that engine was not rotated (No1 at TDC I: 9ocklok E: 12 oclock), remove both chains an their guides and replace ( new chains, new tensioners, new guides, new chaindrives)
12 reassembly should be in a reverse order taking care to use RTV sealer sparringly in order to prevent coolant or oil leaks.
PS: special care should be taken with the gasket of the cylinder head, when reassembly.
please accept my appologies for rusty English
