A friend of mine asked me to do his head gasket on his 960. Im in the reassemble stage and i found this little white plastic "spacer"??? Anyone know what it is? I cant remember where the heck it came from. Its a little bigger than a quarter and theres a slot halfway through it. But in the mean time, any ideas? (theres only one) maybe from the back of one of the cams???

 

It's the timing belt tensioner pin guide.

Goes on top of this. This one is bad, it leaked so I had to replace it.
