That's what I figured. Have you done a R&R cylinder head on the 2.6? After reading the Haynes book it doesn't look like it would be too bad, pulling the exhaust is easy, getting the intake off is probably a bit more work. But dealing with the timing chain is what concerns me most. I don't want to pull the front cover if I don't have to. Any tips/tricks?

As an aside, I found three cam bolts loose. The one that was backed off and the same one on that cap; both not torqued correctly, and I found another one improperly torqued on the rear-most cap. Someone wasn't paying attention during the build-up of this engine. I reassembled it for now, if it throws the cracked cap off before I can get a new head for it so be it. The head is junk anyway now and possibly the cam too.
