Is this a common problem on any engine but this one? I called the shop one more time and he said they just lube the mating surfaces and press they definitely don't heat the gear. But he also said he'd never had a gear walk on him like that.
I don't think I have the time or equipment to make a half decent looking modified timing cover.
I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because this is likely the only decent chunk of free time I'll have at home for about a year.
