millerwl71 Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 I have 3 pics of this hole. I'm sure something goes there, but not sure. [attachment deleted by admin] Removed to free up storage space. Quote
gpchris Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 I went and took a pic of mine. A bolt goes there and mine happens to be a new bolt too. Apparently they break easily or somthing.. My previous owner just rebuilt the topend before I bought the car. Quote
Q-Ball Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 I have empty holes like that on my 3.1. And if the engine was rebuilt, maybe he put a new bolt in there for no new reason? Quote
z34duck Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 those holes are empty. you put bolts in those holes to line up the intake and the gasket so you dont cross thread the intake bolts. I hope this makes sense. I tke them back out after the other bolts are torqued Quote
GOT2B GM Posted May 18, 2007 Report Posted May 18, 2007 yeah, you temporarily put bolts in those holes when you are installing the lower intake manifold. They allow you to compress the gasket enough for the rest of the LIM bolts to line up. Once you have a few LIM bolts made, you can then remove the temporary bolts. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted May 20, 2007 Report Posted May 20, 2007 no, but theres no reason to have them there. Quote
