Replacing normal wear items is completely acceptable but resist the temptation to "fluff" the engine compartment while you're doing it. What kind of car did you get? Everyone will want to see pics too!

Yes, those OEM camshaft gear nylon teeth are scary.
As stated above, don’t disturb what’s left of any factory paint on that cover when you do the R/R on the chain unit. What model, year and mileage is on this Survivor car you have? Last edited by 60sStuff; 07-05-2021 at 08:14 PM.

You can do a chain/gear change in the vehicle but getting the front cover back on with the pan installed is a MAJOR PITA and the front pan seal/gasket will likely leak. Pulling the pan along with the cover is the only way to get everything clean and leak free.
