After having the timing cover on and off at least 5 times I think that is a pretty safe bet!
I have been saying that improper sealant (even from the factory) was the major cause of the bearing failures in the early 13s but was shouted down by most that it can't possibly be that and had to be something else. Now we are seeing that it can indeed be that and nothing else.
I feel some what vindicated.
