I've got to get the cam chain off, so i can get the cams out and the head off.
I could always just cut it but I'd like to learn how to do it properly just so i have the knowledge, ya know?

Hi Joester, I found this video that might be of help.
I know it is not the N51/52 engine, but couldn't find a video on the actual removal from one of those engines.
You may already be aware, but I was recently informed that you need a "special tool" while removing or replacing the timing chain on these engines in order not to lose the timing. I assume this "special tool" it is the bridge used to hold everything in place while removing the chain.
Sorry to hear what happened to the car, but you seem to know your way around the engine bay and it's great to see the progress you have made so far. Let me know if this was helpful and best of luck to you!
