    Nothing to worry about. I asked what that “was”.
    I don’t have a 4 cylinder. Other wise I would have went out and looked for myself.
    Again, nothing to worry. Forget about that “bolt”.

    See post #17 if you want to know what we were talked about.

    I'd fix it. A clean engine bay is a happy engine bay.

    I wanna see a shiny cylinder head when I pop the hood. And once it starts getting on the exhaust it smokes and stinks. Those fumes will go inside the cabin through the intake vents at the base of the windshield. Might not smell it driving around, but sitting at a stoplight the smell will creep in

    Hit it with some brake cleaner and compressed air.
