You should check in the exact area where the tracks are. If there aren't holes or cracks, though, no real need to replace it. As well, it's not leaking coolant.

Well, that's a good point. Dude did find tracks on the timing cover. So, who knows? Hard to do this **** on the internet sometimes....

Yea short blocks don't come with covers

I don't see coolant leaking from there either
Would be nice if it wasn't cracked not sure it just sucks been having some bad luck with the truck past couple months

Added some block seal half bottle not losing coolant but still have blowby looks like water coming out of breather could it be oil making condensation?
Besides that it's been working pretty good driving 60 mi a day already put 200 on still going no coolant in oil so far
Still need to find a engine though any ideas?
