I was attempting to seal off the this port with a piece of cloth and didn't realise that the port had something sitting in it! Doh! Can someone please tell me what this clip thing is, and what its purpose? I can't find it anywhere in the online manuals I've been looking at.

diffusers
Thanks Goodfella. But why did Mazda put 'plastic' diffusers in there? It would be much easier to drag out metal ones with a magnet! Maybe I should use a vacuum cleaner to clear out the debris...
If any bits are left, what will they do to the rotor tips and housings? I hadn't planned on rebuilding the engine yet.
Thanks,
Adrian

That is a very funny statement on this forum.
I wonder how many times that has been thought by an rx7 owner...
(Good to hear you got the bolt out...I typically say something like wouldnt it suck if a bolt fell in there and my buddy will put a towel in).

do not want to start a new thread...
so REVIVE!!!
One of the fuel diffusers on the secondary rail broke... and I can only get part of it out, (think the other bits when into chamber)
I know the best way is remove everything (turbos, LIM etc..) since I'm RHD thats a huge PITA.... without pulling the engine...
do you guys think the little diffuser will damage anything internally (say if I hand spun it around to a few time to get it out into the exhaust so it can melt... or should I just stop moaning/bitching and get it out.... with probably an engine pull, Since doing anything on that side sucks while in the car... Plugs are easy though :P
thanks.

I got access to some kind of tiny camera tomorrow (maybe fiber?) , so I'm gonna take a look down the runners and see what's up.
The reason the diffuser broke is I was (or thought) gentally fishing in the intake runner for my AIT that went missing while I was changing it... (I took my new one with attached pigtail, and it fits down the runners) I don't have a fricking clue where it went, but it fell, and I got a little pissy when it happened..
It's the only fricking time I have never covered or filled the intakes with something... And the bastard AIT might have fallen into one... What a day that was... Lol
Thanks for the suggestion, once I know whats there for 'able to be sucked up pieces' I'm gonna get the **** outta there....
