Dropped socket into engine

[BassCliff]

Why can't you just buy another socket?

Now that's funny right there.




Mr. MrZig, I'm glad your fishing expedition was a success.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Damn why didn't I think of that. I could've saved 6 dollars!

I use an old sock. Just the right length.

For what???

I use an old sock. Just the right length.

are we still talking about the same thing?

Glad to hear you recovered it curious but what do use a 9mm socket for?

The nuts on the threaded adjusters.

Are you suggesting it's a bad idea or just noting there's idiots out there?

I.m suggesting that if you use a rag in the cam chain tunnel, remember to remove it before buttoning the engine back up.

I don't think the guy who forgot the rag is an idiot, I think he's human.

If he left rags in an engine when he buttoned it up, he's an idiot. That's doesn't mean he'll always be an idiot, but he was at that moment.

Look, you don't need to take my suggestion about blocking the can chain tunnel with a rag. I could care less if tools and nuts make their way to your bottom end. It was just a sugestion. It's how I keep unwanted items from falling through, and I've never left the rags in when I put the valve cover back on. That's not saying I've never been an idiot, just not using this method.

Suggestion

If you find you keep leaving rags in your engine ; get a bigger rag .

A bed sheet maybe

A blanket

Pos

P.S a bigger rag will make U work harder to fit it underneath the valve cover.

Red, I think its a good suggestion. I also use that method. I just don't
want to see anyone here make the same mistake.
