Saturn Repair: 1994 SL2 CYL. HEAD SWAP HELP, head swap, chain tensioner

Question
Can i remove and reinstall the cyl. head without pulling the engine or removing the front cover?Also can the cams be reground and over size followers etc. be bought?Thanks

Answer
You can replace the cyl head w/o pulling the entire engine.  (it's actually easier if you leave the engine in the vehicle).  Front cover:  I never found a way to keep the timing chain tensioner from expanding while I removed the intake/exhaust sprockets.  It's a little more work to remove the front cover, but worth it in the end.  As for grinding the cam and installing oversize vla's, not a real good idea.  Those parts are cheap enough to procure that machining them usually out-prices itself.  B
