Default Engine Stiffeners in a B18C1.

I only have 1 of the 2 engine stiffeners for my B18C1. (I have the rear).

Until I source a new one.... how detrimental would it be to have only the rear one bolted up ?

The stiffeners are 2 brackets that bolt 'open end' of a b18c1's clutch setup/tranny to the block.... I can see their purpose, but can't find my front stiffener... the smaller of the two....

OH! I know what they are. I just have never heard them called that before. I run my b-series with out them because of the scattershield and I have never had a problem.

Don't worry about it at all.

TONS of people run without these pieces.
