OM606 front timing cover removal ...headgasket? - vica153 - 05-04-2014
I broke one of the timing chain guides on my OM606, so now I need to remove the timing cover to replace it.
Does the the head need to be removed to do this?

No, just the rails. It would make your life much easier to remove the oil pan or the cylinder head however

The oil pan is off already. I don't want to pull the head if I don't need to. Pulling the timing cover is one thing, but pulling the head gets me into a whole new can of worms that I'd rather avoid.

What are the 'rails'?
RE: OM606 front timing cover removal ...headgasket? - Duncansport - 05-06-2014
The timing guide rails that are up in the head and timing cover

Easy with the oil pan off. Now how the heck do you check the timing while i'm at this with the cover off? I can't any marks.

You can't really...the keyway roughly at 12 o'clock is tdc

I can look at the #1 piston position and guess at TDC, but is there really no way to tell if the cam timing is set correctly in relation to the crank?

Not until you have the front cover back on and have the valve cover off. Its not to hard, take the tensioner out, take the gear off and zip tie the chain to the gear. Do the work you need to do with the front off and reassemble the front cover and set the timing. Double check your pump timing and install the valve cover and off you go.
