this is under the hood of my car. its really crappy under there but anyways i have some qwuestions what the hell is that whole for?? is there supposed to be a screw in there? and also when it is wet right here sometimes whats that mean? dont i just need a new valve cover gasket?




its wet even towards the top of the valve cover....oh and look at my shitty intake...nothing bad will happen if i ride around with it like this for just three or four more days will it?

iam gonna fix this **** this weekend and iam gonna drop my car i got my suspension today....neuspeed race with tociko blues i will post pics the day it gets dropped

 

cmon anybody????

 

there should be an exaust manifold stud and nut in that hole. If you have a leak there then you need a valve cover gasket.. and get that air cleaner fixed asap. Your just sucking **** in thats doing harm to your motor.

I think he's OK on that threaded hole. I'm not near my car, but I believe my '91 CRX-Si has that hole open. It's probably for affixing a bracket for some option we don't have, but another D15/16 uses (maybe PS pump bracket on a Civic EX, etc.). Its definitely not for the last exhaust manifold stud/bolt or else you would see the flange and gasket hanging over it.

91sihatchback - Yes, get a new valve cover gasket and replace it. Make sure to torque the valve cover down to spec and evenly. Also use Hondabond (or equivalent in the factory recommended places. If you have to drive with that air-cleaner for a couple days, try and temporarily mend it with duct tape or something so you get filtered air.

 

that hole is normal, mine and all the other a6 b1 b2 motors that ive seen look just the same.

 

I think, not positive right now, but I think it is for when your pulling the motor out. you can thread a bolt in or something. I maybe wrong though

 

i have used that point to pull motors, possibly there for power steering?

 

thanks guys...what would i do without you?

 

anyone know where i can get hondabond? and what the hell do i do with it?...just pour it on with the gasket

 

bump it up

 

whats the best engine cleaner? isnt there a cleaner that you put in befotre you change your oil that gets some of the gunk out of your engine??? someone help me out

 

Buy a valve cover gasket kit from napa or some other parts store, you save money and you get the valve stem seals and new washers.
And tape that filter up cause thats not a good idea to leave it open.

 

For honda-bond just go to an auto store and get permatex ultra grey (something like that) same stuff but cheaper. The hole is for an a/c bracket or something, nothing big. I have the same problem with the damn valve cover, it's pretty annoying. It seems to soak up the cover.

You know how the valve cover has a semi-circle on each end? You only need to put a little dab of Hondabond/Permatex Grey (RTV) in the "corners" that are created on the head at those points.

You'll actually spend a little more there in most cases, and their parts are crappy. Honda offers a kit with the stud grommets, but you have to ask for it.

 

yeah goto honda, and get the OEM part.. its much better. also that hole is for the Power steering bracket.

 

i use the hole to put a bolt in and hook a chain to it to pull the engine

 

to clean your bay, i just went to Walmart and picked up 2 cans of engine cleaner...after covering up everything important it foams up and i just used a high pressure sprayer and it cleaned up really nicely...

 

thanks guys

 

the hole is for a stamped steel bracket....


part number 9 I got one.. its called a stay

No, that part is under the hole that he is talking about. The hole is for a power steering bracket I am pretty sure.

 

no need to argue

 

Way to blow something out of proportion. I wasn't arguing, I was informing. The part he is talking about is the black piece under the hole you are talking about that attaches to the engine mount on the side.

 

my engine has liquid coming from the valve cover too, what should it do? I just replaced the gaskets.

 

btlfed dont know ****, that hole is for pulling the motor


but serioulsy, i do pull motors with it

and i believe some of the SIR1 b16s have a hole in that exact place with a p/s pump on it..
