Valley cover ?
The bit that covers the big hole
Under the inlet manifold
As opposed to an open engine where you can see the push rods doing their thing
Bfit

Yes Yes, thanks for that Bobby  :banghead:

However fabricated news to me? typically the inlet manifold seals valley as well I've not seen this before

Ahh my young apprentice  :therethere: Mopars have a separate valley cover. We can take off our intake manifolds without uncovering our oily valleys.  No hasals to ensure you have it oily tight if one elects to remove the intake manifold later.
Also allows the intake manifold to run cooler.  No water runs through our intake manifolds either.  :shades: :drag:

Torx heads, I hate those bloody things.  It's only to hold down the valley cover inspection plate and if I'm ever taking that off the manifold will be off too.

Yeah I reckon if you per-assembled the inspection cover with the right blue stuff sealant and let it set you could even get away with not fitting those bolts that fouled out, worst come to worst that is  :bouncesmile:
