87 300 Sdl Timing Chain

[FLYWULF]

Hello All. I have removed the timing cover and chain on my sdl and noticed that the pin that the chain tensioner guide is pivoting on is protruding from the block at an angle as opposed to being perpendicular to the block. Is this condition normal? Or has this been bent out of true shape?

Also I have the head off the motor. There is a fitting on the side of the head for the heater hose and it appears to have corroded and was leaking. When I removed it the threads were , needless to say, destroyed. Is the any known repairs for this condition?

Thank you all in advance for your reply
