Fairtax4me Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Kinda looks like a grommet for a valve cover bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc50942 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 thats what i thought at first...but they dont quite fit right, and there arent enough of them, and there werent any there when i took the valve covers off...i know there usually are...but the h-6 must be different.

Fairtax4me Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hopefully someone who knows the H6 like the back of their hand will chime in. It looks like the same washer they use in the bottom of the power steering pump reservoir on the 4 cyl cars. Kinda figured it might have something to do with oil, but I don't know that engine very well. (at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 head bolt washers ? 12 wouldn't be enough would it, 16 bolts, right? are they metal or fiber or plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc50942 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 just like a plain flat washer with rubber in the middle.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Could it be a sealing washer that goes between the timing cover and block & heads? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 what kind of head gaskets are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recian Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 my 95 came with those. Theyre good for filling up a corner in your tool box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocei77 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_33/engine/engine_gasket_and_seal_kit/ Doing reverse engineering, there are only 4 items that have 12 units. ie: seals for exhaust/intake valves,circlips and cylinder block washers, which I assume (never assume) go on the head bolts.

Ricearu Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 maybe some of the head bolts are through oil galleys? :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Part numbers help! It's number 6 http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b12/type_8/engine/cylinder_block/illustration_2/ They go on some of the bolts that hold the block halves together. And they use them in EVERY engine. http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/11034AA000/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
