Hi all,

Just dropped a cylinder head dowel down a oil port on the block.
Will this have ended up in my sump for me to retreive
Thnanks!

 

Get a magnet stick and fish it out

 

You might get it if you drain the sump of its oil?

What engine is it

 

Done the same with a nut when rebuilding the missus 1.7 Puma engine, fortunately ended up in the sump!!
Hope this helps.

Good luck

 

As above, did it with a valve collet on a CVH. A lot smaller, I know, but it came out the sump...

 

I've done this before on a CVH. I will end up in the Sump. I left it there too lol.

Did that once too

Evertime i do stem seals now i leave bits of tolilet roll blocking the holes

 

ask anyone you know of that have a boroscope.... thay are like a camera on a lond flexible stick and can be bought at costco for £80.... better to beg borrow etc and then hopefully you can find it and get it out, magnet on what looks like an externdable battary areal can be got from maplins for £10 or one of the flexi grabbers from halfords too!

hope this helps
