Gawd, its been donkies since I rebuilt my 2.5na and there is always gaskets and o rings etc that are surplus enen in elring 200 gasket kits.
I do recall seeing that one though just can't remember where it went.
Guess? Cam belt tensioner( if there is even a gasket there) ??

Again, another wild pee poor guess, the covers on the FIP side, one has the lift pump, one has the breather, I recall gaskets (maybe) on the breather side?
Memory is poor.
Memory is poor.
Thanks, your memory is better than mine since I only took it apart a few weeks ago!
You were right with your first guess, I found a exploded parts diagram online and there's a gasket on the studs that the belt tensioner sits on. Only trouble is it means taking the timing case off. Which has some quality gasket sealant on....
Guess I better order some more gaskets.******* **** *******!

It was the slotted hole that made me think that it's something that adjusts.
I wouldn't tear it down again just yet, maybe pm James Martin and he may know how important it is? I can't see (again from memory) that it keeps oil in but it might act as a shim to enlign the tensioner to the belt if you know what I mean?

If only I'd read that before I took it apart and ripped all the gaskets.....bum.

it covers hole that would have fed tensioner with oil on chain driven engines,and acts as a spacer
Thanks , I guessed it was necessary.
