If you mean the oil pressure plunger and spring retainer , it's in the protrusion to the left of the crank seal

I don't know what you mean. The big bump is the oil pressure relief valve.

Not to go off topic but is that the one that makes a sound shortly after shutting the engine down?

The old style timing chain tensioner can fail then it could be the front black guide that broke, then all hell breaks loose!

But not like this!!
