You need to get it out it's going to jam up the valve when it melts, I assume it's plastic?

i cudnt get it out so i drove off, doesnt seem to have done
Question Author
"harm"
Question Author
is there a sign of a stuck valve, and what is it, a bit worried something might happen to my engine, it is not a certainty it fell in but need a bit of enlightenment
Tops, you are one hell of a bloke, should you ever work on your car & drop a bolt or anything you working near, never start the engine untill you have found the item, you may find out to your cost here, are you still playing with that Valve?
Question Author
for some reason im always relieved when you reply to one of my posts, lol. you know the plastic tube you get with say wd 40 or the carb cleaner, that fell in, tried every thing i could to get out, took a pic with my phone but that didn't see it either
Have a firk about with a pair of tweezers, you may get lucky and manage to grab it.
Question Author
i tried that, plus would it not have been sucked in since i took it on a long drive
Tops, a long rod something like a Knitting needle, dab some grease on the end, job done.
Question Author
ok, will try that when i get both, so you don't think it was sucked in no
I am not going to give you wrong answers but check & re-check the area first.
Question Author
the only thing is, that to the left of the disa valve the is like a trench that just drops down,
If you have run the car Tops & depending on how Far/ long, If there was any comeback / problems you would have had it by Now, other than take off the whole unit, let it develop & hope for the best, my guess its dropped elsewhere.
Question Author
what do you mean by comeback, haha, ye i have not spotted any problem, car running perfect
Engine problem Tops.
Question Author
now i get ya, it suspected fall in was half 4 i drove from 20 mins after till 7, did nt spot any problem, bt stil a bit concerned
