Hey, I was told recently that my engine bay was missing a few panels/tubes, etc. Anyone have a pic of a 100% stock engine bay of an M30 or close enough?

Who told you that? Why didn't they explain what was missing? Does your car work?

Bentley will have most of the pictures/info needed.

EDIT: Google/search work too.

A friend who has the same car as me. And yes, it runs. Although, the transmission now needs to be rebuilt. Though, can anyone show a better pic of the engine bay. Thank you, btw, for the pic. And the vacuum hose on the left of that one pic, where does it go? Mine broke :(

Two vacuum tubes, one goes from the bottom of the manifold to the fpr and the other goes from the bottom of the manifold to the crankcase breather. Reach in behind the main plenum on the bottom and you'll feel the two nipples. The only other vacuum line connection is for the brake booster (besides the main thottle plate supply and the icv lines).

Thanks, man. Do you think you could provide better instructions, though. Which side of the plenum. I think I felt on on the right side, but I'd really like to be sure.

Nevermind, I got it. Thanks...though, Isn't the vacuum line that plugs into the hose that draws air from the crankcase causing a conflicting current? or what exactly does it do? What's its purpose? lol
