It can be seen with a light when peering down the timing chain casing from the top with valve cover removed, but you cannot put something against it as the timing chain is seen right there as you remove the pivot arm.
I have seen a helicoil repair done to it but in that situation the timing case cover was on a workbench bench already.
You can use the grease on tap flutes method to control the chips falling into the engine internals though. I think it should work as long as you know what you are doing.
