Hrrmmm well it has an aluminium crush washer on it so i'm thinking oil or coolant... Anyone know?

[bennjamin]

isnt that a extra area for a engine hoist mount ? ( a large hook , to lift out the engine etc)

TBH i dont know. Undo it and find out !

I would if I had a spare crush washer sitting around :p

Probably get one on Monday and give it a try...

yeh, i hooked up my oil pressure guage to it originally after i saw a picture of a fully worked turbo job on a honda tuners handbook had the oil supply for the turbo going to it, anyway after i hooked it up i noticed as nobbs said, it only worked when vtec kciked in. anyway i talked to a mate that works at honda and he found out it is a like a check point to see if the vtec is working properly, it runs on the return side of the vtec. dont know if that made any sense
