Thought I would share as I was gob smacked lol

My friend owns his own garage but years ago he was a spanner at a company in Bromsgrove and as part of the company another spanner was there working on cars.

He explained how the other spanner once was working on a rover V8 and dropped a bolt down the spark plug hole and instead of trying to fish it out with a magnet he just bolted everything back up and started it.

When it started he said you could here the smashing of this bolt and he imediatly rev'd the hell out of it, to this I thought it obviusly went bang!

But no, aparently it all went quiet and the bolt must of just sat in the top of the piston

I was gob smacked lol well the bloke it no longer in buisness and moved abroad but I can't believe some one would do that

thats it lol just thought I'd share
