Hello so i just finished washing the car and wiping down the engine bay when i noticed there was a rectangular hole right below the engine cover where the timing cover is. I bust out a flashlight and find a lot of leaves in there. Anyone else notice this? Is there a way where I can remove all those leaves?



Not my engine bay but this would be easier to see where its at.

 

You could probably just take a water hose and blast them out the back. The back is just open to the firewall and top of the transmission housing.

 

Vacuum?

 

A poking stick with a barb on it?

 

Chewing gum, duct tape and some string?

 

I don't know about spraying that much water all over the engine.

If you have access to an air compressor I would try blowing the leaves out that way. Shop vac might also help.

 

yea ill try to suck them out. thanks for the input guys

 

That's what she said

 

Haha. Don't forget to post a write up on it!

 

??? first post mentions valve covers and points to timing cover... 2nd post says blow it out the back its just the firewall and top of transmission, but its actually an ENGINE behind there

Then suggestions of chewing gum and a stick and some other cr@p... wtf is this thread???

 

Let's just trade engines, zero leaves over here. Must be a defect, you don't need that in your life.

(edit) nvm joke fail that's not your motor.

1/2 way useful suggestion: Buy a can of compressed air w/ the straw on it, and try to blow the leaves out.

I doubt very seriously the leaves will cause any damage to your car, but I have not seen any shop manuals on how this engine is assembled so I dont even know what's in there.

 

well even if i said it wrong there still pics for you to figure it out and it points to where the hole im talking about is.

 

Come on MacGyver!
i suggest a vacuum..a Dyson
