dropped nut down air gap help!!!!

Ditto on dead space. It is just to keep from cooking oil in the head. It is an insulation of sorts.
 

I got it out with the vacuum ad a panty hose over the end of it. This web site is a God send Thanks everyone. Your a bunch of Bad *** Mo Fo's.
 
And one more time.
The worst possible thing you did was add the weight of that nut to the engine if you never find it.
 
2 pages and no one thinks to suggest shining a light down the hole and fishing it out with a magnet?

Do you have a telescoping or flexible magnet? I have like seven of them in my tool box...

Amateurs.

The issue has been taken care of I guess but I have a magnet that looks like a washer. Tie a string to it and drop it wherever I thought I dropped something. The only thing I haven't gotten so far is a socket extension jammed between my bell housing and trans tunnel.

Where were you BEFORE the problem was found? :???:

It's easy to criticize after the problem has been solved... :violent1:


Besides, it wouldn't have hurt anything to leave it in there like most of us who chimed in recommended once the problem was properly described.
 
Does anyone else find it funny that the thread starts out:

dropped nut...


And ended with:

Gigity, gigity...

LOL, your not a thinker are you? If he had a telescopic magnet, then he would have used it. That's the conclusion I came to when he posted his problem. So, you have to think what he would have handy around the garage or house. Vac cleaner is one and a bit of wire is the other.
Of course, he could have just rotated the engine upside down on the stand as well and puffed a little compressed are around the hole, but I figured it was a long shot that he had one of those handy.
Telling the guy you have seven magnets in your tool box doesn't really help him out...
 
Try fishing anything out with a string and a magnet inside a cast irom motor. Might work in a lake...? I did use a magnetic telescoping tool to pull my 6 lifters, but that was a rigid extension, and still tough to maneuver.
 
lol, ik denk dat het tijd is voor een betere screen naam BBM :D

I don't think my screenname can't get any badderasser than it already is...
IMO 'SmallBlockMopar' just doesn't add any amount fear into the veins (or brains) of the 'lesser brand' vehicle owners does it... :D
 
I considered the magnet early on in this, but I figured "Who cares" if it stayed there. :D
Piss on that nut if I can't see right in plain sight.
