First of all...
Just want to say "Thanks" for this great forum. I'm the new owner of a 2003 Black MM and everyone has already hepled me with "burping" my coolant so that my toes can get warm during this cold winter. All you guys have saved me time and $$$$$ for all your posts concerning this problem.
Now, for some more help,... in cleaning the motor, I noticed 2 things I need help on. In Pic1, what is this bolt for???

In Pic2, I've noticed several of these "White spacers" loose like in the pic....Is this anything to be concerned about??

The pics are a little too small to really see what you are talking about.

For first pic see your single post about that.
Second pic i've had that same dangling what ever it is since i bought the car in 05. No ill effects from it, so IMO nothing to be concerned about.

Dunno about the stud, but I'd guess it was used in another application, such as the Aviator or some other shared pieces-part. As for the spacer(s), those were retainer doohickeys used to keep pieces-parts bundled or tag holders. Wait until you find the rubber band on the oil filler tube. Or the little tiny miniature blow gun dart looking thingeys that come out of the molding on the door seals :D

In the second picture the stud is what part of the Trilogy kit FEAD drive bolts to. :)

The little white rings are just from assembly

The white ring is actually the tool to push out the spring lock for the quick disconnect fitting on the HVAC lines.
