    What the hell is it????

    Found this in Number 8 CYL after pulling the head off. It's steel about the size of your little finger nail, it's solid, round on one side and flat on the other and has broken away from something but the big question is WHAT!!!!!!
    Its a bit hard to see in the pic but will give you an idea.

    Nah mate it's solid and everything is in good nick. It could have only come from the intake system to end up jammed between the head and the piston.

    yeah , it does look like a rivet . do you have a snorkel that has had rivets used to mount it or has rivets been used elsewhere in the air intake system ?

    You haven't modified your airbox by chance Chester?

    As above with the rivets, seen a few modded pizza boxes using rivets to hold the intake elbow...

    I have but I didn't use any rivets. The only riverts in the system is to hold the snorkel to the A piller.
