ok, i found 1/2 of it on the floor. as for the other half, i'm not sure...could have fallen into intake mani, or could still be on the injector. the injector is dsm450's and this issue is driving me nuts. if it did fall in there, what should i do? i was hoping it would just come out thru exhaust mani->exhaust. will it get stuck in the engine and break something? after all, it's a freaking piece of plastic, not a chunk of metal. what are your thoughts?

 

oh ****, i dont know what to say, just hope it didnt fall into the motor. if it did, tear that thing apart. or you could take the sparkplug out and look down the hole with a flashlight and see if you can see it. putting that cylinder at BDC would probabally easier to see. also look into the injector hole to see if it is sitting in the intake port.

 

that happened to me with 2 of them last week. started up the motor w/o any issues. i was not going to pull the manifold or head off thats for sure.

Do you know for sure they went in the motor??? Or is there just a chance they did? If you know for sure they are in there thats crazy lol I wonder where they are now lol!

 

oh they went in for sure. i pulled the injector out and they stayed in. i bet they came out the exhaust somewhere.

LOL Damn! And Im **** about cleaning out every speck super small debree and dust that gets in my intake. Ill be a little less paranoid next time after hearing this.

 

not saying i would recommend it but i did it. its a soft plastic.

 

my injector cap fell off on a dyno pull and got stuck between the piston and head. it bent a tool steel wrist pin just slightly. it was still in there when I pulled the head off, flat as a pancake! find it for sure!
