Been experiencing a crank no start issue on my 96 cav and after a process of elimination I finally delved into the timing area. When I removed the oil pan and timing cover the pictured small broken part fell into my oil pan. I have no idea what it is and on the cavalier FB groups no one seems to know or those who have haven't chimed in.

What is it? Couldn't find anything similar on rockauto and my new timing set didn't come with anything similar. Some of the sets on rocksuto have an oil galley plug but I doubt this is what it is.

Any help would be great so I can get my cav back on the road.

1996 - 2.2 ohv

Pretty much everything short of the icm, ecu and timing chain have been replaced
