My SOHC looks pretty similar to this(D16Y8) amd I thought those holes were for some kind of plastic cover that many mordern cars have, but I haven't seen any of those for D16s.


What are these really for?

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

yea i noticed that on my old 99 civic EX that valve cover had empty holes and brakcets i am curious as well

 

there is no cover, probably used in right hand drive cars for throttle cables etc

ah, theres an idea. good call. I wonder how we can find out for sure.

 

I've always wanted to make something to fit over it, but when I sat down and thought it over...It would look stupid.

Find a pic of a jdm sohc engine still in its car? To test that theory.

 

I just told you, there is no plastic cover.

 

the holes are for brackets. i don't think you can find any platic cover for those motor.

I never doubted there is no plastic cover. Just wondering if it is for the RHD brackets like you said.

 

honestly, what does it really matter at this point. Your engine is full of bolts holes that aren't used.

haha' your own opinion is sometimes the best opinion.

 

The one on the right is for a dx throttle cable holder, my dx has the same valve cover. The upper one is prolly for something simmlilar

 

the hole in the top left if for automatics, there is a bracket that holds one of the additional cooling lines

 

Found your original image...I see you changed a few things.

 

hahahahahahaha rflmao buahahahahahhaa

 

haha

I never said anything about a plastic cover, i was referring to your suggestion about throttle cable brackets.

But what does it matter? Why does it have to be confirmed?

What was the point of this, you already said it why confirm? No one challenged your suggestion.

 

some of you guys put to much effort into worrying about the stupidest stuff.

I think it's because we are all bored from time to time...Sometimes things unravel in certain ways we can't control.
