Am I screwed? Broken piece on block. No Idea what it is

[TrueSlide]

I was going outside today to mess with my block, when I noticed that a piece was broken off the front. The thing is I have no idea what this piece is or does. Will I be safe without it? How can I replace it?

Here is a picture of the piece



Here is where it connected too, near the timing chain:



Picture of a oil hole that connects to it??



What can I do about this piece? Will I be safe without it?? What is it and what does it do??

Is that a DE or E, if it's an DE it looks like a Oil squirter. If it's an E I have no idea heh.

it is a E.

Chain oiler, you need it.

You need to get the remainder of the oiler removed from the block and a new part installed.

cool, Iam assuming that is a piece that a machientist will need to install. Thanks, thats comes as good news. Also where can I buy one?? I do not see one listed at partsamerica.com

Dealers have the part, but you will have to look at the microfiche to find the part number. Might be a small run around at the dealer anyways.

They will have it, shouldnt cost much.

Machinist can fix it up no problem btw.
