Quick question also.
Are those timing covers factory installed with no engine paint on them? I dont see any evidence on paint on mine, but according to the part number, its not the factory one.

Sometimes they need replacing along the way.
The last water pump replacement might have pulled out the threads with a couple of bolts.
All kinds of things can happen to them.

Some of them require 2 removable tube assemblies , and a divider plate.
Internal parts.
