Is this possible to achieve when removing part of the inlet system so as to change spark plugs??

Surely when you put it back together and you realize you have an open bolt hole you start searching around for the bugger?

This could have been a fault from Nissan as they last worked on his head after replacing the head gasket. It looked as if the small bolt from the power valve butterfly came loose and ended up in the engine.

My pa het een keer ons peugeot se vonkproppe vervang, toe gooi my jong boetie een van sy albasters in die vonkpropgat - aaklige geraas (beide die engin en my pa!)

die ding het toe maar die albaster moes stukkend slaan en die glas uitsmelt, my pa het gereken dat as dit nie werk nie doen hy sommer die hele ding oor en kry klaar, maar dit het na so 200km stil geraak en die ding het bly loop. My vermoede was dat die ringe al so klaar was dat die glas konuitkom of iets, maar die kar het daarna nog 150 000 km gedoen voor hy verkoop is.
