But since I already have the other side of the engine opened up as well, can I remove the starter gears and will that make the engine be able to turn in both directions? Or is it something else deep inside the engine that prevents it from going backwards?

Removing either starter drive gear or the starter motor will allow you to turn the motor backward with ease and without damage.

Thank you batman! I will remove the gears and see if I can dislodge my piece of brass and continue to replace my worn cam chain

Managed to get the brass piece out by just turning the magnetic thingy in front of the flywheel by hand. After that it was a walk in the park to remove the gears, get the old chain guides out and put in the new ones and the new cam chain.

Are there any "timings" that must be takes care of at this moment or is that only after the top of the cylinder is put back and the cam shaft is connected to the cam chain?

I would've put the cam and fitted the chain on top before doing all that.
with a new chain, the line will be perfectly aligned with the head.
Old chains will have a slight rise on the forward side.

Should I wait with fastening everything and sort out the top part first? Right now my options are pretty open. I need to order new gaskets and washers before I can do anything else.
