Should I pull my intake?

[PatrioticMopar]

Hey all,

I just dropped a small washer from the throttle linkage into the heat sink gap for the exhaust crossover of the intake.

How big an issue could this create? I really don’t want to pull the intake, but I will if there is any chance that washer could work it’s way inside the motor. I don’t think it can, but looking to experts here. Thanks in advance

Try a small magnet? I wouldn't worry.

Yeah don’t have one small enough. Been fishing around with a small pick for the last 30 minutes lol

Cover the carb and use compressed air?

Wont hurt a thing . Good place to store spare fasteners ...lol

this is in the space in the head above the exhaust crossover right? if so it doesn't connect into the crankcase. To boot you manifold doesn't even have a crossover provision under the carb, in the manifold, so I don't think that removing the manifold will help in any case. I'd forget about it until you have to take that head off for some reason

Try your vacuum cleaner/shop vac,

Leave it. You can fish it out when you pull the heads 20 years from now.

Is that what those Edelbrock/Carter clips are called ? I was calling them Mother%#€¥?en clips !

You could try magnetizing the end of a thin wire or small screwdriver?

Pack some field mice turds, those mini acorn balls, and squirt some motor oil in there and forget about it. It’ll all cook up to a nasty black goopy sludge in no time.

Dropped a washer and a carb clip gave up after a half hour that was last year.

It will be there the next time you need it. Don't sweat it.

Come on guys let it go. It can do no damage. End of story.

Little piece of copper mesh ( like pot scrubber ) cut to fit. Never loose a small part in it again.

 

[SGBARRACUDA]

Forget about. I will sit there for the next 50 years and not hurt a thing.
