As I re-assemble my 1961 Buick 215 I am wondering about some assembly items.

On the front of the camshaft I have a bolt, lock washer, flat washer, timing
chain gear and the mechanical fuel pump eccentric.

I was wondering about both washers.  Is the lock washer supposed to be there?

My flat washer is a home made cobbled up affair.  Somewhere along the way
someone probably couldn't find the washer they took off the engine and in
desparation made one.  This washer is not a pretty sight.  Can someone tell me
if the washer is supposed to be a hardened and thick flat washer?   Or is it
some kind of machined washer?

Thanks.
