What hat was involved in removing the cover? Do you have to place a pan underneath to catch oil? Was there sealer that needed to be cleaned off?

My cover is similar and each time I clean and inspect the cover, I find road debris from the front tire. Was thinking of replacing the cover and putting a fender extension on so it won’t happen again.

My guess is that it didn't get treated and cleaned before going to the paint booth at the factory so it's a $50 investment that I'm happy to make. I'll post after pictures when I get it back.Timing chain cover.JPGtiming chain cover edges.JPG
