I'm in the process of rebuilding my KA24DE, and I'm wondering where this goes... I know it is associated with the head..but maybe i'm just paranoid.

Can someone please tell me where this little object goes?

It looks like the seal for the oil passage in between the timing cover and block.Did it come in a gasket set?

lol i jsu tthought it was that becuase of the light discoloration on the block you can see. i guess that means the other one thats circled is a head bolt hole too then.
