HPFP stopper .... Fell apart
Hi Guys,
I was doing the HPFP and the stopper was all messed up... I fished out most of the pieces but I'm sure that some went in to engine ...
Should I remove cover and look for the little chunks ?
Has anyone had same issue ? What have you done ?
Left it in engine
removed cover
Thx

Very common for that to fall apart when doing that job. I usually use a 90 degree pick to slide the remnants of the old stopper from the cam with a 90 degree pick. FWIW I've never seen or heard of any issues from pieces falling into the cylinder head. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
