Take it back off, pronto, and check everything. DO NOT DRIVE IT TILL YOO DO THAT!

Might have left a tool or something in there. You never know.

Take that **** back off. It sounds like there is something in there. Take a pic or two someone on here is bound to notice something in there if you left something behind.
