The plate with 4 bolts on the timing cover is the water pump sprocket access panel. It has a paper gasket that is only available in the gasket kit, the last I looked.

A sheet of gasket material and you could make your own gasket for the access cover.

I saw someone doing this from a sheet of wall calendar, it seems like the paper there is suitable

I’ve used a Cheerios box , I coated the engine side with form a gasket, I let it dry over night, be fore installing the plate, it still hasn’t leaked in 5 years , 80,000 miles.
