I was so close to getting my motor started...
I was getting ready to put my mallory into place. Put in the spring, but it did not go into the divot right. So I put my finger into the hole to grab it, and the freaking spring disappeared. I look in there with a light, and there is a hole that goes into the case that the spring has somehow gone into. Dr Evil and I tried to retrieve it with a magnet, but we can't locate the spring. So - what is that hole? Where does it lead to? Is the spring sitting in a galley somewhere, or has it gone down into the pan. Will I find it if I pull the tuna can off and the inspection plate? I just spent a week building this motor, and an am trying to find time on friday and saturday night after my son goes to sleep to get it running. Dropping the motor for a ANOTHER rebuild is an option, but it is likely one that will table my car until I am done with grad school, or I stop being mad at it/myself. Zach |
