Re: UNLUCKY?
just came back from moose hunting(no luck),and i feel i had to add my 2 cents here,as this happens quite frequently in my line of work(motorcycles)
there are three possibilities here...
1-the screw will go out through the exhaust(it happens)
2-the screw will inbed in the soft aluminum of the head(most likely)
3-the screw will jam in a valve,causing the engine to run very funny.although the owner will NOT find that funny at all...
problems 2 and 3 require removal of the head(sorry)
if the screw gets stuck in the head,it will not (ever) come out with a magnet...i know...i tried...(sorry)
the ticking sound is (usually) the piston touching the inbedded screw at tdc
best of luck
