K12 1.4 head gasket help needed

Hi Guys. I have recently brought a 2004 cube 1.4 auto (same as micra k12) and unfortunately the head gasket has blown ( excessive pressure and failed sniffer tester test )

The timing chain is really quite , so I would love to know if I can removed the cylinder head without fully removing the timing chain cover ? Thats the way i used to do heads on mercs and bmws.

Any help will be much aprricated. Thankyou.

PS I have searched the net for any step by step guides for k12 head gasket but found nothing. Anyone got any links to anything usefull please ?
