I was inspecting/cleaning the engine bay of my 15 RCF last night. I noticed what looked like could possibly be a mounting point for some kind of cover or shield. One is right on the valve cover, just below the oil fill cap, and the other one is pretty much in the same exact spot on the opposite side of the motor. Is something supposed to clip onto here or is this as it should be ? Thanks

 

I don't think so. Looks like they are there for some purpose (something that runs across the valve cover), but are not used for anything at the moment.

Here is an internet picture that shows the samething

 

I also checked google and its hard to tell from any stock photo.

Rolla, if you get a chance could you pop your hood real quick and take a look? It would put my mind at ease if I know it's normal and not missing something. I think I'm just a little OCD about this car

 

Sure, will do when I get back from the office. Will post a pic tonight.

 

Thanks man !

 

Here's a picture with the cover removed. You can see the two parts you're referring to.

 

Here is mine

 

Ok thanks, I appreciate it!

Looks like it's normal then and nothing is actually supposed to clip onto there.

 

I didn't confirm yet but could those potentially be used for boost points?

 

GS F has the exact same thing in the exact same place with nothing on it as well. Maybe something they use at the factory during production, but have no use for once the engine is assembled.

 

Maybe a slightly different engine cover for right hand drive vs left hand drive? Some parts are reversed but uses the same engine. I’m not sure.
