The washer is part of the small center plug. You can get it here-

Cool !!  I didn't know they were still available - I've never replaced mine and have never had a problem with the open hole.

I never had a problem either but the open hole was bugging me. Plus if you ever get a coolant leak above the hole I don't think the anti freeze would do the clutch any good.

Sorry for the confusion, i was actually looking for the washer on the Injection Pump for the bolt you unscrew to check the timing. Looks like some questions were answered anyway!

When I was changing engines, I had a small rag in the hole - forgot to remove it when starting the engine and behold!! it disappeared, like magic  ;)  Thankfully it hasn't caused me any issues.
