D'OH

Post by jobooth321 »

So I was adjusting the valves on the Rockster last night and had a moment of supreme uncoordination. I poked the timing hole cover right into the hole. :shock:

How screwed am I? I imagine I'll be ok. If that thing gets tossed up in the flywheel it'll get chewed up like nobody's business and not damage anything. It's just a little piece of rubber. Still though... I feel kinda stupid.

The good news is the valves were in good shape. Just need to do the throttle bodies next.

Dude, how'd you get a pic of the inside of my tranny without me knowing it?!

You're good!

Welcome to the club! As said in another post, ignore and tape the hole.
