Timing chain cover: how bad does it have to be..
before you replace it? In the middle of timing chain replacement on a '94 22RE 4x4. The deepest groove is the depth of the outer band on a penny.. so about 0.7 mm.

My opinion....not a very expensive replacement, but a PITA to get at. If you are there, replace it.........the breach in mine was not a gaping hole but was big enough to fail.

I went ahead and bought a new one to replace mine but mine was pretty bad. Its a good thing to replace and its safe cheap insurance.

I reused mine, but installed new chain guides to prevent it from happening anytime soon. The motor will be in the corner of my garage before it kills the new guides.
