Default Balancer Washer Part Number?

Does anyone know the part number of the special washer that is inserted behind the balancer to "fix" the balancer problem? I am about to install a camshaft and might as well add the washer when I put it back together.

I think I just found the number i was looking for in another thread.
Apparently WPC #305 is the washer and 12557840 is the bolt i need.

The washer is not available through GM Parts. It is only available from the GM Warranty center. That's why its part number doesn't look like a regular GM part number. You'll have to open a warranty case and get your dealer to request the part from the warranty center in order to get one.

I guess I will get to find out how receptive they are to the idea of just giving me the parts to install myself. I doubt if the dealer will mind getting paid for the warranty claim without having to do the work!
