If you look close in the upper right hand corner you can see the hole for the vacuum line.

Also found out the "fly-by-night" salvage yard I ordered this tank from sent me the wrong tank even after I called and verified that the tank I was buying was off of an LSJ car, the supercharged one, the tank on the passenger side. They told me yes it was. But it obviously isn't.

I also found what appears to be a partial roller, on my magnetic drain plug, off of the timing chain but I haven't confirmed that yet.

Discovered the auto parts store timing chain kit I installed had a chain guide that wasn't quite formed right and it cause it to rub on the chain slowly eating away at both

Here you can see, just under the plastic bushing, where the chain has rubbed a considerable channel into this piece because it is made wrong. I should have noticed this when I installed it but I didn't really even think to check.

It may be hard to see in the picture but if you look you can tell this timing chain guide is out of tolerance and the bend is more like 85 degrees than a true 90.

I had my old timing chain and I compared the part and it does in fact look like a broken part of a roller. So then I took my valve cover off.

You can tell by examining closely that the edge it is standing on is the factory edge as well as the edge at the top. This piece also has a tight radius to it. I was racking my brain trying to think of where this tiny small radius piece would have came from in my engine. Then I thought of the timing chain rollers.

Old timing chain I had lying around. Looks like that chunk of metal is part of one of the rollers.

I found this chunk of metal stuck to my magnetic drain plug. The piece has a tight radius/curve to it, the edges are still smooth indicating this is the full width of the part. I was trying to think what in the hell in my engine had a radius this tight. Then I thought what about my timing chain?

Still looking like a regular old Cobalt with missing hub caps. I hate hub caps or anything fake, like fake hood scoops.

Now with 5 gph water/meth kit from DevilsOwn. Currently running off of the windshield washer reservoir. Soon will be running duel tanks for more peace of mind.
