Morning, I've just removed and repainted my valve cover (picture below). After putting it back on there is a bolt hole at the back left (drivers side) that has nothing to attach to it (the other 2 you can see are for the spark plug cover); I don't recall there being a spare bolt hole before but can't see anything that would plug into it and do not have any bolts left over after putting the cover on. I've also checked Honda parts and there are no bolts assigned to that hole.

Can anyone advise me please or take a look under their hood (UK 2006 model) to see if they have anything there?

Many Thanks

Andy

 

The hole is not used. Empty from the factory.

 

Do you have any idea why Honda added this unused hole on the dbw cars?

 

On some older Hondas, wasn't the valve cover grounded? Maybe that was the thought behind that hole?

 

Cheers Billman; clearly I didn't notice it was empty when I stripped it. I'll be filling it with a matching bolt in that case.
