Ever see this?!!!
I bet you have never seen this. It was in the engine for a year. The owner knows this because every so often the engine would run rough and then it would be fine. He finally took it apart when it didn’t get better and there was no compression in this cylinder, finding the rocker arm broken and then the rest of the problem. Also, there was no damage to the top side of the valve just some witness marks on the valve seat both in the head and on the valve itself. It’s a 3/8 bolt, it’s an extra, none missing from the engine.

I see the engine is Ford pinto turbo. What car did it come from? Similar to my pinto in the westy.
Only seen the bolt ingestion on a race engine where a rival team would drop a bolt or nut into the open carb.

I assume it's from some Lotus since Dan is part of that club in Vancouver. He's owned and raced a S2 since new.
