YUP. that's my mess.
broken timing guide equals eventual timing chain wearing through the wall of the cover equals that little mess right there.
that's why it's important to differentiate between the knee-jerk headgasket blame (like i originally did blame it on the headgasket) and the big picture of finding the real problem of the timing chain guide failure. like i did.
why did it fail...probably because they do sometimes...

Well as your doing the work, you would have seen the damage I dont have schematics on the 22RE's tho.
Thats nuts tho. I have to look at the engine schematics to see.

you're talking above me there.
if by "schematics" you mean like studying the FSM / Haynes / Chiltons and tons of threads and pics and so on and so forth......I've done and am still doing all that.......and plus when I get stuck I ask these guys.....ALOT!

I realize it can be painful to flip through this thread and try to extract pertinent stuff and I apologize ALOT for that and I promise I will do a proper thread when this thing is all over......hahahahahha. no, seriously I will....if it ever ends.
backside of the timing cover when i got it off.....looking at the driver's side, arrow area is where the chain finally broke through the wall of the water pump area causing the leak....small as it looks I assume it would expand with heat and continued friction.

Well if you were from Washington. I would help you. I've rebuilt many engines, just not 22RE's But with the right documentation. Its not too bad. Just take it one step at a time. Cleaning that is going to be mad crazy sucky. I would personally just mix it out. Fix the problem, and run a few quarts of oil through it. Iron blocks are going to be a bitch to just clean out normally without wire brushing it out.
JEez.... :-( I feel your pain.

actually...i'm at the part where i am buttoning this thing all up...new timing cover and head is on......just need some belts and odds and ends and i'll be mostly good to go.
it's been a tremendous leaning experience for me.
