Fishing tips

Thanks all. Going to try a borescope and see if I can see it, then a flexible magnet, and then the vacum trick.

What kind of lure to washers prefer ? ;-)

Don't forget that stainless won't stick to a magnet.

If you don't find it, pull the intake off, that should give you a 90% chance of finding it. The only possibility that you don't find it in the intake or in one of the runners would be that it managed to slip by an open intake valve. Unfortunately, that would mean taking off at least one of the heads.

Good luck on your fishing trip and don't forget that you can find some of the good ones in the most unlikely places.

Scott,

Hope that you get the washer out ok. But as to bait, have you thought about the bubble gum on a long flexible stick thing? I actually got a stainless screw out of one of my valve covers that fell in when I had the oil cap off that way. Of course that 3was nothing compared to trying to fish around down in the runners of an intake. Best of luck.
