The lines are normal. It's to indicate whether it's the exhaust or intake cams. And yes, you do need to take off the timing cover.

Damn your intake manifold is so much cleaner than mine! If that hurricane doesn't throw too much rain tomorrow, I'm gonna remove my upper plenum and clean the living out of it.

Nah the first time I did it autozone gave me the wrong freakin gasket, they gave me the one for the other side, so I ordered the right one and changed that today, no more stinky burned oil smell.. I hope =)

I'm pretty sure that having a sig the way yours is, listing one mod per line, has been forbidden. Change it ASAP.
