Ive noticed that, ive got a gap/hole at the top passenger side of the engine, and when the engines running you can see the clutch spinning around:xconfused Now I know the FD boxes have an inspection plate on the bottom, but this doesnt look like anything is missing just a gap between the block and the bell housing.
Ive taken a pic dont know how clear it is? Any ideas? should it be like this? just worried if anythig dropped in there as its quite a gap.

Hello mate, if I recall correctly there is a inspection hole on the fc, on the top passanger side where the gearbox joins the block. sounds like your missing the cover.

Theres the same thing more or less for the FD. I have got the inspection plate on but my mates is missing so you can see the shiny purple hks twin plate in there.

There are 4 plates dotted around the engine / gearbox to cover the gaps - that one on top which you\'ve found.
 
Then there is a really thin one on the manifold side of the engine, a trapezoid shaped one underneath for inspections, and a kind of exhaust vent for clutch smoke that bolts to the spark plug side of the bell housing - and faces backwards - it covers a circular hole.

It clears the clutch smoke well
