Hi guys,

This may be a stupid question but, I was just wondering if someone can ID this engine bay part highlighted in yellow for me and let me know the function of it. Is it ok to not have this part as I have seen engine bay photos with the part on and some with the part missing. Also any idea why someone would remove this part as the only reason I can think of is aftermarket headers?

Any help would be appreciated thanks!

 

Used to hook chains to for an engine picker if you are pulling the head/motor...There is another one behind the valve cover...

 

also manual recommends clipping the jumper cable ground side to it

 

Can also be used as a ground when jump starting your car or testing sensors.

 

Great thanks guys I had no idea what the part was called or the function, so I guess there is no harm done by not having one right?

 

No harm, just save them for when you wanna pull your motor.
