This morning I pulled the timing chain cover off the 22RE and it was definitely damaged. I still do not know how coolant got into the oilpan, but I included a link to some pics of the timing chain cover.

I pulled the oil pan and there was A LOT of plastic and steel in there. I am assuming I need a new timing chain cover, any other advice?

Thanks!
