oh boy, ive never ever bought gm parts.
i wonder if they gave you the wrong part
did you save the GM partnumber off it?
ok it shows 16v....
that Suzuki cover is polypropelene , very very fuel and oil proof. it cant deform easy, unless washed in MEK or acetone, or other danger solvents.
is the belt running (cam) running true? not beating the insides do death causing deformation..
i wonder why the 1998 gm cover looks noting like a Suzuki cover. so odd that.....
GM made engines in CAMI, i wonder if they made their own covers. my tracker had a suzuki real covere on it and replaced my (3 cars) damage covers.
all looked same . (cept 8v)
i can see the pulley on the bottom (i only have one photo to see, and is 2D not 3D (like real eyes have) so ive got to guess mostly)
the pulley is way too close to the cover. that is clear.
that can be only 2 reason, it is , too close or the cover is deformed or not fully planted to engine. 2 things.... i cant speculate why , not seening more photo's
if the pulley has its fan belt too tight, the damper rubber inside gets destroyed, my 97 was, wrecked, and the pulley was slipping inside, and wobbling.
the car have the 1998 (96+) crank cog, with star tone wheel built into it all in one, ? or missing. the tone wheel.?
they made 3 cogs. in all years, and if the old cog and no washer used, the pulley will not fit. and be too close !
im guessing all possibles here, seen them too. and others too...
when some work on cars, and the parts are bad or missing they use wrong parts. (a disease of sorts and hard to decode that./..)
my page lists like all ways the belt can hit inside of cover, lots of ways.
what is the history , under that cover>?
any?
ever inspect that cog on the bottom for damage.
seen vast numbers, all beat to death on back side, (never done the TSB in 19 years, not read, not done or corrected the old books)
it beats to death and gets shorter and now hits the oil pump and fan belt hits the cover.
here is what matters. on the bottom crank cog.
mine in the photo is brand new. just for that reason. and bolt, and key.

GM at cami used engines direct from japan, as did the side by side build of suzuki sidekicks At CAMI.
I think the engines were not built in CAMI.
if true, the covers are all JAPAN covers. not CAMI designed, (imagine the tooling cost on covers.. wow)
like the ECU, all are from JAPAN , or for sure same suzuki p/n as the GM master records call them out. using suzuki part numbers.
maybe im wrong about cover. i cant see top of it... so.......

ever seen the sneak a peak page
see if the belt is (cam) doing odd tricks, walking or???
this is not hard to do.

we will find it, only need more inspections, like peeling and onion, omg, there is bug living in here, at layer 3.
