you can't change the timing chain without removing the head - end of story.
unlike the 18R block where you can loosen the two bolts attaching it to the timing cover (dodgy way to do it as it weakend the head gasket and it never stop leaking oil), the 5ME has two studs and a cam guide to get in the way.
so... unless you're rebuilding a 5ME engine (which many here will discourage you from doing) i'd stick to the things that are actually broken.
my (and wilbo's) experience would suggest that the 5ME benefits very little from preventative maintenance - if he chain is noisy, see if the tensioner can be wound up a bit more.
