Default Eccentric shaft pully qyestion.
I'm guessing you have to get the eccentric pulley bolt off before you can5 take the front cover off? How much torque is on it 350?

Off hand not sure about the torque, but yes you will need to remove the pulley to pull the cover.

Coolant pouring out of exhaust ports is not a good sign.

Only thing that I can think of the scenario is coolant going thru TB may have possibly gone into the header as if there's a ruptured coolant seal coolant will blend with oil and both oil and coolant will burn ina working chamber. Residue will not even resemble coolant...

Let us know what you find upon opening the "pandora's box"!
