Just push/pull the cam gear back and forth and see if there is any appreciable slack. Slack means a worn thrust plate.

Be careful replacing the timing cover. The seal won't particularly want to center itself on the crank snout because of the upward pressure of the oil pan. Uncentered seals will wear quickly and start leaking. So snug a couple of bolts and visually check the seal, nudge as appropriate, before bolting it in more firmly.
