Default BB valve cover ?

I think I know what this is for, but just want to verify. Is the stand off on the rear side of a BB valve cover for a spark plug wire guide? I'm not sure how to insert a picture of it.

Yes it is. There's a plastic piece that slips onto it & holds the plug wires.

Yes. Same purpose on left and right side of engine.

To insert pictures you will first need to signup with a hosting service. I am using photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com) but there are others. Once you have a place to host your pictures, include a link to the location of the picture in your post and all is good.



Regards,

Jay
