So I dropped a washer inside my head.......

[92SR20S13]

Today I was installing some greddy RAS and when taking one of teh cams caps off, I dropped a washer from one of teh bolts inside the head. =(

I was on the intake side, right at the rear of the head. The washer has fallen into a hole...which im guessing is some kind of oil return...

Anyways..I cant see the washer anymore...and I cant really get a magnet in there unless I tie it to a string, Which could be even more dangerous lol

here is where the washer fell in, Not my head...and its a view from the bottom, From the top its super hard to spot...



Now how the hell do I get this washer out without tearing apart the head....I really really dont want to do that....

It may take some looking, but you can find long flexible mag. that you may be able to snake down in there? ya dig?

Here I even google searched and double posted to try to get this sorted out for ya, Try a flexible mag like the one on that page, and see if you can snake it down in there, its worth a shot man.

Btw, you want the "Bend it" magnet, its like 5 bucks.

That might just be worth a shot.....I wonder how wide the magnet is...the hole is odd shaped from the top, it has like a flat side then almost a half moon....I could probably trim the magnet down to size though...Oh well its 5 bucks lol thanks man!

[Logan76]

your welcome, its probably pretty damn small, like i said its only 5 skins, worth a shot.

I hope this thing works....I found where to buy one locally, But its in such an awkward spot, and I have no idea how far down it could have gone.

I'm so scared to turn to motor over =( lol

Dont until you get it out with the magnet lol!

Just go to sears and pick up an extendable magnet it looks like a pen, but with a magnet on the end. I dropped a bolt down my front cover to where I couldn't see it anymore and I wasn't taking my block apart. I just wiggled the magnet around down there and wala

[92SR20S13]

WOOOOOT That thing worked, Ballin'

Thanks allot buddy!

this reminds me of the time my spark plug broke and pieces of it fell into my cylinder. but unlike you, i never got the pices out...........

i dropped a cam cover bolt down into my cyl on my old ca....i got it out with a magnet too, but had a hell of a time

i can think of worse things to drop into dark holes. a baby could show up 9 months later.

glad u were able to get it out
