I should of used better grammar and said I have never seen a vp without a support bracket that runs from the vp down to the block. I have never seen a gasket behind the bracket where it mounts to the block but when I was doing research on the tappet cover I kept coming across people saying there is one. So when I do the tappet cover I'm going to do a how to and take pictures.

I guess when I get into it I'll see if there is one there. I dont remember it being there when I replaced the VP, but we will see. If there is not one there, the dealer must not have put it back which means I have had one hanging with out it for for the past 210k miles.
