It's black plastic and just snaps into the pulley hub. I don't think it is 
particularly important, but I still like to see them there, just for the sake 
of completeness. When I see an engine without one, I can't help wondering what 
ELSE the rebuilder forgot or didn't think was important.

I probably have a spare one somewhere here.
