found my lower plenum bag of bolts..no plastic washers. Didnt see them on courtesyparts.com either...



are you the original owner? Stock intake manifold? That spacer looks like it was for an intake spacer ( given the length of that bolt next to it, the bolt looks like 1 of the 6 holding the upper plenum to the lower plenum)

I'm not the original owner. It came with a plenum spacer. So maybe that's what those are for...

did you lose it down the manifold? i suggest you get it

Unless you lost it down the manifold, then I wouldn't worry about it. None of my bolts have washers on them and my car runs perfectly fine (well..."fine" being "factory")

Just take a washer from another bolt down to the hardware store and pick one up. The spacer is good upgrade.

Oh the difference is spacer vs no spacer? I'm with them and I vote for the spacer; it adds some decent power for a bolt-on
