If you are referring to the post with a slot in the top, I think it directs lubrication oil to the gears. I'll check a manual and revise this post.

You might be referring to the Timing Gear Oil Nozzle.

It's a lubricator for the timing gears. It screws into the end of the oil passage in the block. It has a small hole drilled in the side so the oil squirts onto the gears. No, it's not a good idea to run without it!

If your part is the one referred-ton in the manual, the manual suggests replacing the plate if the nozzle is damaged.

It's not that hard to replace. If you can't find another plate, send me yours and I'll fix it.

I have a 216 block in my brother in laws garage that I don't intend to use. I'm about 45 to 60 minutes from Janesville in Illinois. give me a call we could probably remove it from mine if you still need one Scott cell # 847-951-3720
