Oops! Where Does This Go?

[SnesleyWipes]

I changed my plugs yesterday and had to remove this piece of metal to get to the back plugs on the driver's side. I do not remember how it was oriented. I really don't even know what purpose it serves. Could somebody please inform me on what orientation this bolts on and if it even serves a purpose.

Thx,

Snes

Don't worry about it. Throw it away it's an annoying piece of metal that makes it harder to take the upper intake air chamber off.

I pretty much agree w/ toysrme but it can be useful if you're intending to remove your engine some time soon.

Funny story.

When I rebuilt my motor mounts I swear to god I jacked the motor & transmisison up just jacking against the powersteering bracket!? Ya, that's two 14mm bolts on the rear head picking up about 600-700lbs!? LoL!

I'll send you a picture soon of my 3VZFE eng and tranny being hoisted... yes on the two 14mm bolts at the back and of course the coresponding ones at the front of the engine.

Kewl. Make sure there is piping to a turbocharger on the engine before it get's set back in perminantly!
