So I dropped a piece of soder in my new engine... What now?????

[superjetkev]

take the head off and remove it. but since you started it, take the head off and clean out the little bits/ inspect for damage. better safe then sorry IMO

Thats not Good ! I know its just'' Lead '' but so are bullets ! Its also not a NEW engine any more

:banghead::banghead: Ignoring the problem (and starting the motor) won't make it go away. But it usually makes it worse. Fail.

use a vaccum hose and dance it across the top of your spark plug hole depending on where the piston is it might just be able to suck it out.

Id split the cases now and check for bits on or around the crank too

I needed a laugh this morning thanks for the thread.

I would still pull the head and clean it up.

Correct me if im wrong, but if a piece of the soldier stuck to the head and started glowing from heat, couldn't it act like a diesel? The red hot solder would be like an uncontrollable spark plug....seems like that could lead to pre-ignition.

I always say do it right the first time. Im assuming this is a customers ski since I don't think you own any sitdowns....would you want someone doing that to your own ski...and charging you for it?

Well, a glowing anything is still an ignition source so if it's in the right place in the chamber I bet it could instantly kill the engine.

I did not really start it. I let it go for the night. When I got home from work and had calmed down from last night I noticed the the head was not bad to get off at all. Its out and it runs great (on the trailer). never did do the squish test though now that I think about it...

You are 100% right and Im glad the starter relay was bad or I may have actualy started it last night. You are not right about the sit down thing however, I have a gp800 for all my biotches.

I was trying to get someone to say it would be ok but that didnt happen so... I had to get it out! It wasnt a big deal, just 24 bolts to retouque and the exhaust mounts. I loosened the exhaust clamps too but not sure that I needed to.

Solder in the engine is ok , all the big name engine builders use it as a lead substitute, it won't hurt anything ,there you happy now?
