Check the timing chain tensioners. If they are even somewhat worn out you might as well put new ones in. I am in the middle of doing a head gasket on my ka24de swap right now and bought a new timing assembly because I knew it was probably fucked. We removed the head and front cover to find one tensioner had failed almost completely and the lower chain ate through the front cover into the water pump chamber. Thankfully I have a spare motor lying around to pilfer parts off of.
