I was just going to replace the p/r tube seals and thought, since I dont know the history of the motor ,I shoud pull the heads and check things out to make sure the thing is even worth using. With all the bolts off ,I pulled the head and then proceeded to pull the two screws that hold the tin on the c/c. while lifting the screw up the washer fell into the lifter hole and DINK!, DINK ! you gussed it ,right into the case.
So now what, is there any way to get it out without splitting the case? Can I leave it there? |

1.7s shouldn't have a windage tray. Here's a crazy idea. Put oil in the case if you don't have any in there now. Maybe a couple extra quarts. Rock the engine back and forth to hopefully draw the washer down into the bottom of the case. Drail the oil and fish around in it with a magnet to see if it came out. The hole it went into is a drain back into the bottom of the case. I wouldn't run it if it was a nice engine, but if it's a beater I think it'll just end up on the pickup screen.
