doh!


knock on wood, i have had hundreds of engines with the top end torn off and open intake runners and never dropped a bolt down on accident. now that i have said that i will probably screw myself over tomorrow!

 

i bet who ever heard the noise that thing must have made then took it apart and saw what caused it was like DoH!

 

look 2 posts up and you'll see that person, hehe.

 

Bah, that's a common mistake.

So far the biggest retard was the guy who was asking why his engine was running funny after he replaced one of his NA rotors with a TII rotor. I wish that thread didn't disappear when the forum was rebuilt a few years ago.

 

Ok this may sound Like a stupid Question, But what is the Reason for the (SLIDE) lookin dealybob thingy in the exuast ports? i seen them before many times. what does it do?

 

ROTFL!

Man how do you figure out how to rebuild an engine and not know that!?

I don't feel so lame anymore. ;D

Yeah except it didn't make a single sound! It must've been a quick death. =(

And what's stranger is this... I made it 3/4 of the way to work on the freeway before that bolt got sucked in. I assumed for the last few weeks I had blown a coolant seal.

damn i was hoping you werent the one who did that...

theres no way that couldnt have made some noise! its metal on metal! and really fast for that matter!

 

It's fine, it happens to everyone. I borked a nearly new S5 TII intermediate housing when a grinding stone exploded.

Your damager looks superficial. The housing should be to use.

 

keep in mind any loss of compression will be on the exhaust stroke which wont really affect anything.. as long as its smoove.. no worries!

 

wow how did this get bumped up.. Rs the engine is in and running fine so it waz ok

 

yeah, strange timing eh?

 

welll i guess i can say if u scrach up your housing it still should run ok hehehe
