The washer to pull & install the timing plug. I had a bolt( 5/16thish) with an upset at the end of about 1/2 inch of threads, (but 2 nuts jammed would do it). I found a washer, about 2 inches across,about 1/8th thick , as thick as you can find & still fit in the slot is what ya want. Before mounting the washer on the bolt, tho, fit it to the slot. Cut it almost flat across one side, so that it fills the length of the slot & the contour allows it to go to the bottom of the slot. Then, I used a smaller washer to support the main washer. It goes out almost to the edge & is cut to almost be touching the plug when the main wsher is in the slot. So, what ya have is, a couple of washers, with a bolt going thru & nuts on each side of the washers, to keep them on the bolt. My bolt is about 4". So far, I havent had to crank on it hard enough to bend the washe. I bet I never do. I wouldntr be afraid to just use the one heavy washer. IIRC, the reason the second washer is there is because the upset on the bolt & that washer were made for each other, so using it was kinf of a Have To deal.
I hope that wasnt too spastic an explanation, Sandy. If so, let me know..Ill try again
