timing gear covers, 2 revisions????
as im flowing down feces creek with no paddle,
battling a water leak, that I have been struggling to cure....
I ran across 2 different types of front timing gear covers.
one is completely flat.
the other has extra stamping in the plate that I thought was a flaw, but now appears to be a factory revision.
look closely at the water pump mounting surface.
the cover with the white background is a item I found on e-bay as a OEM part.
the others are the covers ive tried to install and failed.
can anyone shed some light on this?
maybe a revision date?
why the revision was done, etc?

cover came in today.
bran new item. never been installed.
I lightly hit it with the DA sander to show you the elevated spots.
this is not a imperfection.
I have 2 covers exactly the same as this, and 3 that are completely flat.
