It is possible to remove the timing chain cover with the oil pan and head on, but getting it back on is a different story. With the head off it would be no problem to instal it.

I don't think so.

Drop the pan. Easiest of the 2.

I was agreeing with that. I was replying to soul coughing who stated he got his timing chain cover off and back on but he had the head off as well, so of course it was easy for him. With the head on the motor its pretty much impossible, and yes removing the head is ALOT more work than removing the oil pan. The oil pan takes literally a couple minutes to remove.
