1000 DS engine query

dacs · 05-11-2021, 11:58 AM

My M1000Sie needs some tlc to the engine paint (I may be understating the case here), so step 1 will be the side cases and valve covers during this garage season. I have a spare pair of cam cover plates that might as well be sprayed at the same time, per this photo -

and so to a question that I am embarrassed to have to ask but not as embarrassed as I will be if I don't ask and screw something up

- can these covers be removed and replaced without disturbing the contents of the cambox, especially the camshaft?
