OAI Installation

I am looking for for some instructions or documentation from an assembly manual on how to install the OAI assembly? Did a search but didn't find anything specific.

It does seem fairly straight forward, but I am not familiar enough to assume anything. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

So do the clips for the hold down springs go under the valve covers?

And do you need to drill holes in the top of assembly (can't seem to find any there)?

Clips go on top of valve covers. The OAI top piece (with the foam cushion) has small anchor holes on each side for the springs. Drivers side is easy. Passenger side usually needs some needle nose pliers and a small hand. Make sure vacuum lines are per the diagram also

Looks like there is a small brkt that mounts to the valve cover bolt that the spring attaches to.

You got it. In board side of valve cover second or third bolt back from front of engine. Set OAI top piece in place and come directly down from the anchor holes and that's where clip mounts
