So I'm doing my condition inspection and I'm replacing my old cork
rocker cover gaskets that have a slight leak going. I get around to
the #2 cover and find stuck to the inside of the cover a little pin or
cyclinder that measures .260 in diameter by .410 tall! It's magnetic
and was pretty firmly stuck but I'm pretty 'concerned' to say the
least. 100+ hours since the last time that cover was off, the engine
has over 1000 hours on it.
First off I need to know is this actually part of my engine or did it
get stuck to my cover during my last condition inspection. Perhaps
when they (the FBO who shall remain nameless) cleaned the covers in
thier cleaning bath with other stuff...
If it is an part of my engine where the heck does it go and why the
heck did it fall out!
Anybody have any insight on this?
