Is this timing cover trashed? Do new timing covers have the tracks down the side for the timing chain like the first two pictures? I have never taken a 22R or 22RE apart and donÆt know what to expect. Also, there are some good gouge marks in the water pump propeller area. Is that bad? That might have been caused by this http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showf...mp;amp;sb=5&o=14&fpart=1

Is it worth the $50 for a new timing cover? Thanks for all the advice lately, IÆm a newbie at this stuff.

No, they don't come with grooves in them..... For $50 I'd do it. Think about it, no cleaning.... Unless you have a sand blaster, or money's tight, then maybe I'd try to reuse it as long as the coolant isn't leaking through the grooves.

I was gonna say reuse it, but then I saw the water pump area and changed my mind.
