Day two of timing chain replacement & noone told me....

there are two bolts that go through the sump to the bottom of the timing cover. I realize I should have known this, but I unfortunately don't have a long 3/8" extension so I had to jack the engine up to get to them. Anyway it is being a learning experience and I should have an engine that purrs instead of rattles the timing chain as I will be replacing all the guides with the chain.
I must admit SAAB did their oil pump in an interesting way putting directly on the crakshaft. Other than being extremely dirty, of course the car has 280,000 miles and has probably never had anything done to it, things look in pretty good shape.
Any suggestions on a painless way to clean the firewall side of the engine without pulling it? LOL
