Yea looks like something was living in that cavity.
Rich- on your 3rd pic, see the horizontal panel? While yer there, it may be worthwhile to unbolt that panel to inspect for corrosion. Very common. This has been discussed extensively in the past. Pulled mine off this past winter while I was working in the same area. It's a good idea to repair any rust now before it eats your subframe away.

This was the most thorough write-up of it I could find. I love this site

Tore these apart to see if there was any rott/rust. The pass side (shown) looks like nothing to worry about. I may paint it just to be safe. Drivers side showed a tiny surface area that I sanded down and will treat and paint soon. Pretty happy there are no nasty holes back there ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Nothing a 2x4 can't handle! Having a lift is SO helpful...

impressive pics, I had been researching how to get the chain covers changed out and I guess the pics kinda helped me understand what is involved. Now looks to be a good time for you to do the same. Seems they are not changeable without removing the engine tin.
My question is does one have to remove the bumper to pull the engine tin>?

Honestly, I've been in such an attack mode dismantling stuff, I havent even considered smarter or simpler ways to do other maintenance, LOL. I also have no prior 911 experience so all of these jobs are my maiden voyage into 911 wrenching (My philosophy is "bolts are bolts"). I believe you DONT have to remove the bumper but it def makes access a lot easier. I'm gonna leave mine be for now since I expect to probably need a clutch (I intend to do a LWF, RS clutch setup, etc.) by next winter... so I'll think about doing em then when I yank the engine again, haha.
