I pulled this 1.7 I've been flogging to do a clutch job. It's got to last me another year or so until the six is ready. It's always run hot (I've put about 3,000 miles on it since I brought it home). While I have it out for the clutch work (Oh yah, and the turbo) I thought I better pull the tin off and make sure it's all debris-free in there because if it was hot before, it's going to be h3ll under boost (about 8-9psi max. I'm crazy, but I haven't lost ALL sense of reality).
Gee.... Do ya think there was a problem?

Oil cooler? What oil cooler?
It's packed solid. I put a halogen shop light under it and no light gets through.

I see this almost every time I crack a engine open.
I blow up thru the cooler with a air nozzle.. and in between the cylinders... you see crap flying everywhere trying to exit the tin.

OH.. ha ha ha.. I didnt even notice the "extra" spark plug.
B
You couldn't do that down here in Arizona. Is that an original equipment spark plug?
The front cylinder is buried in the tin for the spark plug.. I have lost a few on 1.7/1.8 engines.
B
aren't those engines amazing?
i mean, what other engine would take a b(h)eating like that and still run ?!?

Looks like a rag got sucked in there, is it?

You guys don't miss a thing! Can hardly wait to post pictures of my disassembled motor.
Dude my engine looke dlike that after it sayt in my garage for 10 years. It needs a bath. Take a shower with it and let it know you love it

I have seen the extra spark plug a few times. Must be left there after they lose it trying to install/remove the old plugs.
