So, I'm in the middle of doing my very 1st valve adjustment (2 days off and on so far - hey, I'm slow and thorough), and I've come to my 1st dilemma. There's this strange rubber slab that's laying over my engine, and I am wondering if it's disposable (as in, I can take it off and never use it again). I ask because it has done nothing but get in the way so far, and I can't imagine it doing much good other than to retain heat. Maybe it keeps debris away or something, I dunno. But, here's a picture of it:
I did a quick search, and CyberPoet has mentioned it being something with Cali models, but to my knowledge mine's not a Cali model. But, I've been known to be wrong. Perhaps CP can fill me in on this (I want all the juicy details)
Another question, is it okay if one of my oil hoses has a sheath around it and the other doesn't? I assume it is, but just want to make sure. Again, here's a photo:
Thanks!
