I think that would require removing the timing case. That means removing the crank pulley and replacing the crank seal. And probably removing the vanos or a large part of it, so thats probably more work than doing the rodbearings.
You can maybe replace the tensioner of the oil pump chain but maybe you cant even reach that.

Strange thing about those oil pump pressure pistons is that TIS displays for the s54 how it comes apart and that when you take it apart you have to replace the O ring (but no parts show up in the ETK). Together with a diagram that looks exactly like oil pressure valve setup from the m54... So it all looks increadiby the same.... but is it? Maybe someone on e46fanatics knows?
