Ferrari 400/412 Timing Chain Replacement

It seems that I will be needing to replace the timing chain after all, I have already ordered a new one and should get it next week.

My question: Can the new chain be linked with the old one and "fed" through to replace it OR does the timing chest need to come off?

Do you mean this one?

I can't how the "roll-in" of the new would can be done while keeping the cams in time.

Great, thank you.

Seems at this point the best is to remove the engine so I can inspect the bearings as well.

I don't know, how can I determine if they are?

Do you have recommendations on how to go about removing the engine?

Thank you for the link.

I will go the way of removing the rear diff, there is virtually no space on the 412 to reach the bell housing bolts to the engine.

Once the diff and torque tube are off, the transmission should down a bit and give access.
