Umm, I dont think that hole is suppose to be there.

I need to change the 3rd valve cover on my supra (7m), and today I was just fooling around with the engine and noticed a hole in a screw.

Its the screw that are in between the 2 valve covers. The 4 that are with the sparkplugs that you can see. Anyways the screw thats closest to the firewall has a hole in the center of it. Ive never noticed it until today. Is it something I should fix or is it natural for the car??:1zhelp:

Kinda blurry but if you look closely at the screw you can see the hole Im talking about. Im talking about the 14mm allen key screw btw.

yeah, that's supposed to be there. Something is actually supposed to be bolted onto that screw/bolt, dont know what though, sorry. Nothing to worry about.

Its supposed to be the throttle bracket.

Supposed to hold a bracket that holds that heater hose above it.

Ahh, that makes sense. So its nothing to worry about then??

Not really, just make sure the hose isn't rubbing on the body seam above it (might eventually cut it).

 

[airhead04]

Ok. Thanks alot for the help.

 

[Poodles]
