HELP! 4g64 engine....hydraulic lifter missing.......any chance it get into engine???
Today....started as a good day...I fixed my Honda's head....it runs happy....I changed oil for my motorcycle...deciding getting back on bikes before I am too old.........
Then I replaced water pump and belt tensioner on my mighty max...... Then i decided to take the rocker assembly off and see if i can clean the HLA and replace valve stem seal....... Then when i lifted up the rocker assembly.....lifers fell off... not a big deal...i kept my cool..it happened before.....BUT.....I could only find 7....Where is the last one..............Me and my dad spend time looking but couldn't find anything.....We worried that it might had fallen into engine.........two ways it can go......1. thru the spark plug holes (unfortunately i left the holes open at that moment.) 3 thru the opening on head... there is a opening connecting head to the block....i think its big enough for lifter to go thru.......
We turned crankshaft slowly with sparkplug holes open......no sudden resistance......
if its not in one of the cylinders....then what if it went thru the hole on head and made its way inside the engine? anyway to find out???
It's not a big deal to get a new set of lifters....but i fear it may be inside engine somewhere ..........the engine may blow up some day i was driving on highway...
