Normal Cam cover wear? Noticed alum in my oil filter when I cut it open. Upon tear down I don't see any abnormal bearing wear. I am seeing alot of wear on the cam cover.
Is this "normal"? Seems a little excessive, no?

Someone brought up on YB that the cam bolt pattern is too wide to leave that marking... So I don't know where the heck it came from. Wasn't there when I installed the new cover. Also not the first cover I've seen do that. It's a mystery! Nothing else rotates in that area so it has to be cam related IMO.
Are you sure that wasn't there? The bolts wouldn't machine out a perfect circle like that...they aren't close enough to each other. Looks like a machined recess for the bolt heads to me but not gonna lie I'm sick and have been taking some meds lol...
The bolt heads would have to be touching. I could see if it were a circular line groove, but a full recessed circle? How?
google images shows several like that:
