It was hard for me to get the timing gear and chain on with one hand while prying on the tensioner with the other. Probably would have been easier if I had another hand.

i have not had a problem with it. use one hand to pull up on the gear and the other one to pry over the tensioner.
i wouldnt use it casue best i can figure that fin is there for proper oil pick up. you know cause the top end oil supply is fed from that chain

Oil pickup? There's no way the oil level is that high, you'd have to have 10 quarts in there! I think the fin is there to help hold the chain on the crank sprocket while you are messing with the upper end, IE doing the headgasket... or changing the valve timing because some Yahoo got it a tooth off.

Hmmmm.... Maybe, but I doubt the fin is close enough to keep oil on the chain... It would have to be pretty tight... There's plenty of oil pouring down the chain hole... So much in fact, that if you plug the rear drain hole in the head, and drive up a hill it floods the valve train and you get lots of smoke pouring out the exhaust... Ask me how I know? 
hehehehe i know your right.
well either way i wouldnt use that cover. but those crazy japs have pulled that stunt before...
like why are these arrows on the oil pump? whats this single wire connector for in the middle of my harness? where is the bolt that is preventing me from taking off this timing cover....

it could be there just to keep oil from slinging up the cover,
