i just rotated the crank to TDC took out my timing chain tensioner, then took the valve cover off and set my cams to the right spot while the crank was in TDC and since the chain was loose I was able to just move it over until everything was in the right spot. I took the front cover off to replace the chain guides but if i didnt have to replace them there would have been no reason to take it off. It just depends on if you want to check you guides or not.
