Yes it does.
No matter what,I'd pull the timing cover so everything could get a very close inspection.
I'd also make sure the cam gear and fuel pump eccentric all got assembled properly so that there is the correct cam endplay (.003" to .007") as I could easily see that (too much cam endplay) being a contributing factor on a deal like this as well.
Also I'd wanna check out the timing chain set closely as a whole to make sure it's OK,and I'd check that bottom gear with a magnifying glass or such for imperfections at those keyway(s).
I'd also mic the OD of the snout on the crank as well,and mic the ID of the next hub and the lower timing gear,if there is too much clearance there,that also would explain alot as well.
For sure your gonna need a new timing cover seal,so IMO the cover needs to come off.
