Do the 5.0 timing cover have a stepped dowel or special sleeve on drivers side ?

Is it supposed to be loose?

The driver’s side of the timing cover has a step and the dowel is too small and there is a big gap. The hole on the passenger of the timing cover is straight through and the dowel fits nice and tight. Both dowel holes on the engine are same size and the dowels fits fine.

My 5.0 is out of an Explorer and I am using Explorer's timing cover. I have seen this same step on the other 5.0 timing covers as well.

Thanks

Waid
