I'm not familiar with the timing cover inspection hole...I'll have to see what I can find and how to check this. It doesn't appear my timing isn't off by much since it's generally running OK but clearly the computer thinks it's off. I'm curious, if the wheel is off by a bit will this cause the rough idle problem because the computer is trying to compensate to what it thinks is happening?
