Wondering what the black bracket is for underneath the oil filter on my block and in the pic below. Looks too flimsy to be a mount, its really thin metal.

4, 3, 2 are the intermediate shaft bolts go the other one im not sure just spare hole i dont have anything on my block

 

4&3 are for the half shaft and 1&2 are for the manifold brace the mounts to it.

 

#6 is the bracket that holds the exhaust manifold to the block
have to double check the other i think that has nothing going in there the #5

 

thanks, one more that i forgot, in picture two the black bracket below the oil filter, my block has 3 holes there, what is that for? looks like a mount from the pic but the bracket I have that goes in 2 of the holes there is pretty flimsy

 

Number 5 is used for nothing and number 6 is used for the header bracket and number 1 and 2 are for the bracket to hold the intake manifold...

We got a first timer here..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Already figured out the numbered ones guys, thats the only question I had left, thanks though.

 

1 and 2 for the Intake Manifold Bracket.

 

isn't the bolt hole #5 (I think) used for the front motor mount?

You really should use this even though HCP, HASport, and Place racing all say it isn't necessary unless you are running Hi HP... There is a major handling difference when this mount is used. We built 2 identicle CRXs same motor. One with and one without. The one with had better cornering. I dunno why.

Again I have all the numbered ones figured out, just wanted to know about the black bracket underneath the oil filter now. Also with building 2 identical CRXs you really cant be 100% sure the chassis is gonna be the same on both, front mount probably makes a difference but I doubt that alone was causing the change in cornering.

 

Thats the bracket that bolts to the header flange under neath the engine...it keeps the header from flexing on just the bolts that are on the exhaust ports.

Like if you look at a header, down where it goes into one pipe, you'll see a flange sticking off with two holes. Thats what bolts onto that bracket.
