Title: Putting engine back together... something else is broken. (what is it?)
Post by: Jim_rx7 on June 20, 2007, 08:40:21 PM
Ok... I was putting my new block back together when I noticed something else is broken. It looks like it has been glued in the past though.

Anyone know what it is? Also, does anyone have one spare going??

thanks

Yep, get rags down the intake ASAP.

I dropped a nut into my turbo elbow years ago and had to remove the turbo pack to get it out.  If you drop something down there it\'ll be much much worse :(
