160K miles...runs well, good compression, but will rebuild later.
The cover supports the plug leads I think...not much other purpose really...
I think mine was sheet metal actually...dead easy to make if you wanted...

Just guessing
Not too sure about this but isn't that the job of the exhaust gas sensor?

Knock sensor is there to detect pre-ignition aka pinking or knock and will be on the block somewhere. Exhaust gas sensor detects the oxygen level in
the exhaust and allows the ECU to adjust the air/fuel mixture

it looks like a temp or oil pressure sendershould have 2 wires on it near the top of the cyl block,to check if its working let the engine tick over
and tap rapidly near it with a small hammer,the revs should go down if its working
