1968 220/8 noisy timing chain??

My 1968 220/8 gets noisy when it warms up and makes a noise that does not appear to be valve related. I'm guessing it is the timing chain, tensioner, or chain guide. Is a visual inspection possible if I remove the valve cover gasket? Of the 3 components, is one a more likely culprit ? I've read in previous posts that the chain itself could support a battleship.

Thanks,
