I am at a loss to find where the 'triangular joint washer' item number 23 goes on my 19J.
I thought that it went on the block behind the timing belt tensioner....but in no position does all 3 holes line up with anything.
Could it be for a petrol engine with a timing chain and hydraulic tensioner? Maybe a 19J does not even have a perimeter gasket for the timing case to block but relies on sealant rather than a paper gasket as per the sump. This would make some sense as if I fit a perimeter gasket, item 19, then there must be another gasket under the timing case where the studs for the tensioner are to avoid distorting the timing case.
Thx for any help.
