Its a fabricated part described in the SII tuning handbook.
Prevents a lot of oil from flooding the timing cover during
hard breaking.
Not totally required, but certainly handy.

Subject: Re: Timing Case Plate
In rebuilding my engine, the machine shop came up with a part that I don't
remember taking off my engine. Its a plate that blocks off the hole from
the
block to the timing case. The picture came out of a an unknown book. The
question is , Is this a stock part or something that I need to fabricate. I
honestly don't remember removing this part from the two engines I tore down
to make one. The article says "its made of 16 ga steel with a slot cut fo
allow insertion of the vent end od the oil feed line."
