So I saw this picture that belongs to someone else on the forums:
Now on my car, that brace that connects the intake manifold to the engine mount is missing. The previous owner must've removed it and not put it back. I know he removed lots of things for weight reduction but this doesn't make much sense to me. Would this damage anything? I'm assuming I should put that sucker back on. I've already replaced the intake manifold gasket which had a leak on it.
Now also in that picture I'm refering to that little polished block off plate. My car doesn't have anything plugged in there. What is that for and should it be left open or blocked off?
Thanks in advance for any help, the mods the previous owner underwent just amaze me...
