Yes you can, but:
1. Splitting the case is fun and easy and
2. The most wear you will find will be on the intermediate shaft bearings and on the main bearing that's next to the flywheel. Those are inaccessible except by splitting the case.
If you do not split the case, you'll probably feel mostly comfortable that you made the right choice, but you'll be nagged by the suspicion that you should have done it. If you do split the case, you'll be glad you did when you see those old bearings. Also, this allows you to renew both timing chains with non-masterlink units.
