Re my previous posting about the errant nut that fell into my almost fully assembled engine, I am trying to think of some easy way to extract the nut when (and IF) I go home tonight. Here are my ideas in ascending order of complexity: 1. Invert the engine and hope the nut falls back out the same way it went in. (As an added touch, shake it the way a bartender does a coctail?) 2. Purchase some kind ( what?) of thin, flexible tool with a magnet on the end to reach down into the case. 3, Remove the head, pistons and cylinders from one side of the engine and try to reach the nut via the side openings. 4. Split the case. 5. Slit my throat! Does anyone out there have a handy-dandy suggestion for EASILY getting that nut out of my case? PLEASE help bring my blood pressure down below 300 over 180! I appreciate your thinking of me when you hear the word " nut ". Phil (maybe I'll just drive my Chrysler forever) Dillard dillard@suu.edu "You can't teach a mouse new clicks."
