Fibre washer
A fibre sealing washer used in the oil pump and release valve assembly, part number 70-8753 (also E8753).
This is a fibre washer used in the oil pump and release valve assembly, part number 70-8753 (older parts books list it as E8753). Fibre washers like this one are used as a seal between threaded fittings or under valve components to keep oil from seeping past a joint where a metal-to-metal fit alone wouldn't hold pressure reliably.

Our catalog record shows this washer appearing in the oil pump and release valve section, so it's doing sealing duty somewhere in that assembly rather than out on the primary or gearbox side. The catalog entries we have run 1969 to 1970, but we don't have enough detail here to tell you exactly which model or which specific fitting it seals against.
Fibre washers are cheap to have on hand and easy to overlook until you're mid-rebuild and short one. If you're working on the oil pump or release valve, it's worth checking what's in there before you button it back up, and give us a call if you want help confirming exactly where 70-8753 goes on your particular engine.
