I did some searching and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem that I am having with this s52. I've been changing the common gaskets and seals getting this thing ready to drop in to my car. While installing the new water pump I noticed both center lower timing cover bolts had some silicone. I felt them a little loose so i tried to tighten them and sure enough they are broken. They are the two center ones when standing in front of the engine near the water pump. I'm debating whether I should dive in there and see the extent of the damage or to just get the car together. The engine was running fine before I got it and there wasn't any signs of coolant mixing in the oil or oil getting into the coolant.
So, should I bother if none of the above was happening or get in there and see if I can extract them?
