[DMCForum] One nit-picky question

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, bare with me as I attempt to explain my situation.

During my procedure of replacing the RS cam sprocket, I had to get into
the
timing cover and push the piston back in to slacken the chain. That didn't
give me quite enough room so I removed the tensioning arm just below it.
This gave me the room I needed to slip the sprocket back on.

However, when I took the tensioning arm off, I thought I heard the
distinct
jingle of metal falling and hitting metal. I never saw anything and could
never figure out what fell. Apparently a washer that rests against the
engine block fell when I removed the tensioner.

If you look at items 12, 13, and 14 you'll see my concern.

My question is, how crucial is this little washer? Should I take the cover
off (oh jeez, not again) and reinstall it?
