Re: Is there supposed to be oil here?
Aparantly it is there for a reason. We saw on Alex Le Roux's 4.8 that it increases torque at a certain rpm. Thys got heaps more torque with it working than disconnected........ Nissan actually did some development on that item

Re: Is there supposed to be oil here?
I wonder if this could be the cause of the rattling/tapping sound on my 4.8? I suspect it needs valve clearance adjustments but heck maybe I will be incredibly lucky and save myself 15k or more !
When in doubt throttle out !

Well maybe it should be left in, but just make sure its tight! I have personally seen the broken cam from bits going through the engine.

Re: Is there supposed to be oil here?
I'm pretty sure that the butterfly is there to shorten the intake runner length at low rpm to improve torque at low rpm.
