I cant seems to find any shim on CAPS... this is the illustration....

There's only a washer I can see (circled) and I cant see how it would assist the timing belt.

nah mate its behind the harmonic balancer not at the front of it. once ya take the bolt and the balancer itself off there is a metal shim that sits behind the balancer and if ya run the car without this shim the timing belt can move and hit up against the timing cover and all sorts of trouble. and the easiest way 2 avoid more trouble is put woteva came off it back where it came from
