i was workin on my car today and notice on the back of the head (beside the intake manifold on the distributor side) there is a spot w/ what looks like a small coolant resivoir and has two bolt holes on opposing sides for the spot there is nothing there.

to me it looks like there should be could any of you with a d16 the stock 90 si motor look and tell me if you have anything there?

eversince i got my car back from the engine being rebuilt i have been finding missing parts(they did a crappy job) any help would be apreciated

 

its the casting for a vtec solonoid, don't ask me why it's there, none of these heads have vtec, but it is...it's on all d series heads

 

ok thanks, i was just curious. thats is wierd. Well does anyone have any suggestions on how to make my car idle better and stop this dang crickett sound that comes through my throttle body?

i cleaned my tb, cleaned the eacv, checked all the vaccuum hoses i didnt see any problems. any thing else to do? the sound comes only at a certain throttle position when accelerating. plz help its pretty dang annoying

 

That sound is how you know it's a honda. Seriously though, all D series that I know of do it, nothing's wrong with it, that's just how it is.

 

not VTEC, but EGR..........

 

if it is the egr, i kinda need it dont i? mine looks like that pic, but it has two holes for bolts on each side

 

its actually a place for a fuel pump to bolt on for a carbureted model.

 

i c thanks, my car is burnin oil too, what does this mean, bad rings?(plz no, plz no plz no) or what? it smokes white a little bit and i have to put oil in every once and a while.

 

yes it is for the fuel pump on the carb model- the EGR port is a small round hole that is between the head and manifold. Don't worry about it. See in mista's pic- the round dirty hole- that is EGR.

after finding a old Si intake manifold, I concur with fixhondas.

Learned something new!

Also kick myself in the *** as it looks like a Ford V8 style fuel pump boss.
