You could of with some luck reset timing plate and tig welded without removing complete timing cover. Just the 2 smaller covers.
Hence why I was saying to work out what the cause of issue is before removing cover.
Anyway doesn't matter as its not guaranteed to work.
Did you notice high oil temps when you came off the highway?
And you year model is susceptible to oil burnt so you need to keep adding oil.
You should be using 10w40 or 5w40 from now on.
