 |
|
So, I was taking the long way home last Tuesday night after work. After about 15 minuets I got on the interstate and got up to around 75 when all of a sudden a loud knocking started.
I thought at the time that it sounded like a nut or bold fell into the combustion chamber somehow.
It sounded like a piston beating something up.
After a few seconds the sound quieted down a bit. By this time I knew the damage was already done. So, I "limped" it home.
I was finally able to pull the engine today and this is what I found...
Now, I am not missing any nuts or bolts from my ventures, or studs from my intake.
I had my air cleaners on with the rain hat covers on my 40 idf webers.
And spark plugs are damaged, but complete.
It looks like a stud or bold.
Any ideas where this could have come from?

Is it steel? (Magnetic) or other?

| They all look to be about the same size and shape. Kinda like the screw-on cap to a spark plug. I am assuming this is a Type 4? |
