# 5 and 6

I realized that when I took off the valve cover the the back cover (#6) and gasket (#5) is contacting the camshaft teeth. I haven't had the chance to take the timing belt off and camshafts to take a closer look but could the back cover contacting the camshaft / belt cause problems?

Maybe, maybe not. What part of the back cover is making contact? Actual pictures would help.

Thanks for the response and I'll post pics of it on Monday.

You can probably take it off, use a heat gun, and try to form it in a way that it doesn't rub the back of the cam gears. Or its probably missing a couple 10mm bolts.

Thanks for your feedback Tony and I'll try that. Already checked for missing bolts. In the mean time any way you think this could f up the engine or not a concern?

Mine does the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it.

The plastic warps on all these and eventually it starts light contact. Nothing to get too bent out of shape about.
