Wondering if someone can help me out with my engine cover. I took it off this weekend for the first time when I changed my air filters. It has a clip on the front right side (my left when looking at it from the front) but theres nothing to clip it on to. Wondering if I'm missing a rod or dowel that the previous owner or one of his mechanics removed.


If someone could take a pic of two of whats under their cover I can compare it to mine and see whats up. I checked the EPC but couldn't find anything. The opposite side clips on to a tube.

 

You'll probably get more responses if you take and post a pic of your engine bay. Just saying...

 

there is a plastic piece which has a metal clip on the end of it. due to the heat in the engine bay i have seen the plastic become brittle and break off.

 

yep. Only one side of my EC has the metal clip. Lost somewhere. I'm relying on the two prongs that push in on the other side of the EC opposite the clips.

 

Novae, you are packing quite an arsenal there brotha.

 

Dayumm!!!! You aint kiddin.

 

Here's a pic with the cover removed. To clear any confusion, I have the clips and all the plastic tabs on the cover. On the front of the cover I have 2 clips that are secured with philips screws. One clips on to a rod thats part of the oil filter housing. My question is what does the second clip attach to on the front left of the cover.



I was able to get a pic of under the cover with it on using my blackberry. Seems that clip is right above the puller.
