Ok so the dealership told me that they could not help me with my problem because i had mods done to my car.
They said that something must have fallen into the intake or got sucked up because it sounds like there is something in there and also my spark plug was pushed down.
I was thinking maybe i could use a scope with a light or a magnet, something to see if in fact it is a bolt or something.
I am sure i never let nothing into my motor w/e i did take things off.
I was wondering what tools do i need to take off the head to see whats up.

They already have proof. There's something (bolt, nut, washer, etc.) dropped into the engine. They don't come from the factory that way so the only way it could have gotten there was by somebody working on/modifying the car. Those aren't covered under warranty. Read your owners manual and see what's covered - you won't find "stuff dropped into the engine" as something that's covered.

Look at his mods - MREV2 and MD spacer. Changing out the lower plenum requires removal of the bolts inside the plenum that hold the lower plenium to the intake manifold. Because of the danger of stripping those aluminium blocks, everybody is real careful about overtightening the bolts. It would be real easy to leave once loose enough to vibrate loose and eventually pop out the hole and drop down into the intake.

i know i never lost a bolt anyway, the only way i could have dropped something is when i changed out my intake and intake tube, i havent played with my intake manifold in months. keep that in mind, also
my Question Was what tools do i need to take off the heads, i dont need feedback telling me about the problem i already have.
also Does anyone know of a scope that is small enough to fit into the spark plug hole.
