How would it get there? Oil drains don't go through piston bores.
As I said, it's an unlikely worst case scenario. It's much more likely that it's sitting on the windage tray. --Ian |
It was at almost tdc and I was working on cyl 4 so the crank should have been tucked in out of the way
Ok all things considered, I’ve got a new keeper and I’m continuing work on it today. The engine sat for a couple days without having been started when I began. So barely any oil residue in the drain passes, and I heard it clank 3 or 4 times on its way down. Pretty clean fall Strait to the pan I’m sure. Im sure of this but anyway I’m Gonna feather the starter a couple times for precaution before startup I made a valve spring compressor like the FM one on a friends old school Miller machine. because I didn’t have enough $ for it after the oem valve seals picture https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...22d35d3af.jpeg |
I just thought I’d give a little update, I started the car couple days after I finished The valve seals, and it started no problem,
no engine go boom! |

Haha, good one
I’m not leaving it in there indefinitely, I have a few magnets attached to the pan and will drain the oil after a 100km Or so anyway, thanks everyone for your input! |
