No, not directly. Maybe in the aftermath....one scenario....If it gets caught up in sloshing sump oil and wedges itself between a small gap between the inside surface of the engine block and the rotating crank... then you might get something more dramatic than a broken turbo impeller or if it gets lodged in an oil gallery, you might get premature failure in another component down the track.I'd be wanting to locate it. I hate losing things that should not have occured. Bloody time waster. The only other thing I hate when rebuilding is finding I've got bits left over? now where was this supposed to go?

Fat-Tony Legacy Donating Member 5,364 Member For: 20y 6m 14d Posted 27/07/06 08:22 AM Posted 27/07/06 08:22 AM from memory I think it only cost 450 for labour of valve spring fitting or there abouts, by the time you get all the tools and all that I think better of doin in that way. Oh and dont you love when you do a job you end up with more bolts than you started with

boosted_sa Member 270 Member For: 21y 2m 16d Posted 31/07/06 12:23 AM Posted 31/07/06 12:23 AM Did my valve springs on the weekend. Didn't think it was too bad! had the Atomic tool. Was time consuming, took bout 5 1/2hours open to close! car actually revs past 5000rpm comfertably! Any one that's looking to buy an Atomic tool mine will be for sale, just waiting to here back from a mate to see if he wants his done first!
