If you don't have it you will break the ear off of the starter in a short time. The hole for the starter actually supports the thrust of the starter. I tried running without and found this out first hand!

it is called a blocking plate and it is important. not only does it space out the transmission from the engine just slightly it is also an alignment tool for the starter. it uses the dowells on the block to line the starter up. ive gotten away without them but its not worth the hassel clean it up and put it in. it goes on befor the flywheel too.
