D16A6 Upper timing belt cover

I blew a head gasket on my 91 rt4wd. A friend helped me with the replacement. During the process we removed the Inner Upper timing belt cover. The seal on the piece was thoroughly melted. Unable to find a new one I just put everything back together and it all seems to be running fine. If this piece even necessary?

The problem though is that now I have no Upper timing belt cover and if I do find the right inner cover to replace the old one will I have to pull the camshaft to get it back on? What a pain in the ass. A weird question I know but any knowledge would be great. I hope to try to source a replacement and get it on there this weekend so if anyone has any ideas on how it can be done without bulling the camshaft would be great!
