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.

 

ill be over to help u dismantle the engine on sat if we cant get it fixed by weds or friday

 

They are full of crap. Unless they can prove that the damage was directly related to said mods, then they don't have a legal leg to stand on.

 

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.

 

I dont see how the hell a bolt could have even gotten in there... Unless you dropped something in there when you did your plenum spacer. What is the problem with your car?

 

If you drop something into the manifold and if you started the car then GL!!!

 

None of my lost bolts never went in the motor

 

missing bolts in the motor, you got problems

 

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.

 

bump, also is there a manual i can buy maybe at the dealer or online?

 

I remember my days prior to the Z.. whenever I worked on my vehicles I'd always either end up with too few bolts or one too many.

Never dropped anything in the engines tho.. dunno how that'd happen.

 

There is something called a borescope that would fit and there's flexible ones for really tight spaces. But the $30,000 price tag probably wouldn't. Maybe there is a much cheaper more conventional one to use.

 

just burnt you a copy of mine... PM'ing you now to get your address.
