Anybody know what the box shaped baffled off section on the 1.6 valve cover is for ?

It does not seem to connect to anything !!

Thanks

 

i swear you (or someone) made this exact same thread title about this exact same thing last year.

 

No it was not me.

 

I tried to upload a pic of the valve cover but it turned into ...

Wow ! I guess I did post the same thing several times. It's like Ground Hog day effect

 

Seriously though. I wasn’t looking for the information in regard to oil issues or catch can design-
I offered a friend who “adds lightness” to his Miata to lighten his valve cover which was off the car for other repairs.
There’s not much you can take off so I wondered about that boxed in section under the valve cover.

 

I was trying to post a photo of a turbo kitten and this pic of the lightened valve cover came out.

 

why not read the thread i linked?

if you really need to shave .02 lbs, lose weight.

 

Thanks man ! Yes, I finally saw that it is in fact connected via a small tube. Thus the victim does not want it removed so I left it alone.
The cover shown is not for me but for a non aspirated friend.
