Ditch all the covers. Waste of plastic. 20 minutes to change the belts without them. Carry spares. 

IIRC (and it's been a while so maybe I don't), the oil pump sprocket has the lip that keeps the inside edge alignment on the DS belt. Should at least look to make sure that's intact and in the correct position. 

GD

there is a small lip or ring the inside and outside of that pully they can be riped off by the belts when they come off or if there hit by anything there only spot welded on in 3 or 4 spots  not having covers on mine i was able to see what was happening and over the course of a week i noticed that ring coming apart and once it fell off i had this problem i replaced the pully and the belts stayed on
