It's a spacer to even out the water port fit. There should be 2 of them. Was covered recently. You should sand that paint off too where the gasket is gonna go. Good luck.

Chris, maybe try sanding it around the edge that fits into the motor. Then put a block of wood on it and pound it in with a sledge hammer. It should go in if not, keep sanding. You problably just got some paint on it. Also that thing on the water pump housing could be for a water temp sensor..?
When ya gonna get that back into your car?

On the filler neck, take a piece of wood just a bit larger then the filler neck opening at the bottom. Place the filler neck in the iron then put the wood inside the filler neck and give it a wack. This will expand the filer neck. I then put a bead of silicon around the outside of the filler neck where it meets the iron. Do all of this before you put the oilpan back on.
