Well if anyone can guess where I found this....



and it just happened to do.... this.....



I wish I had the picture of when it was still attached to the head. It actually broke off from the coil cover bolt, then on the next rotation it pressed itself in between where the valves are supposed to be.... Made a nice little indentation into my cylinder, and well put a 1/4 inch deep hole in my head along with mashing it up a little bit.....

One thing after another, the bolt must have fallen in without me noticing while changing plugs out. Since I had all the little bolts for the cover partially screwed into the head not to lose them. Motor turned over about 4-5 times before the starter wouldn't turn over anymore. I hoped for the battery to be going dead fearing the worst. I had just spent the previous 9 hours reinstalling my head/cams/gears/clutch, accessories motor and so on...

If anyone has a spare rb25 valve and a spare headgasket for sale.. *cough cough* Darius... let me know I'm going to take it to my machinest and have him install another and clean up my head....

Someone above really wants this car to never touch pavement again.

My CAS drive just broke on my exhaust cam, after I finally got the motor completely back together and running.. I have a deadline before I need my car in working order as well, and its too damn close... Hang in there.

Christ man! You can't be putting pics up like that! People like myself could very easily be sent into a grand mal seizure by the rush of the repressed memories.

Yep I still have that head gasket for sale, so it is all yours. e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll get it out ASAP. I might even sneak you a little christmas present to keep you busy while you're waiting for the machine shop.
