    What is this part?

    I replaced the timing belt and water pump in a 1995 Mazda MX-3 with a 1.6L DOHC the other day and there was a little black rubber piece that I forgot to put back in. The car isn't leaking so I don't think the part is probably real important.

    So what is it and what does it do? My best guess is that it helps keep foreign materials out of the timing case.

    What is the part marked in red?

        I don't think it even did that since the part was all torn up.

              This is my BP. There are many like it but this one is mine. My BP is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my BP is useless. Without my BP I am useless. I must drive my BP true. I must drive straighter than my enemy, who is trying to beat me. I must beat him before he beats me.
