Bumping for some attention!!

Can't imagine noone else has dropped anything in the engine ever!

Sweet success!!

Can see it sticking it's ugly sharp head out of the round hole. Forced air from shop vac did the trick. :dance:

When wrenching "there is no substitute" for patience and relentless persistence, good job. Case looks like a convict under hack has been on it with a toothbrush and polish.

this is the point when you feel you love your car more then anything in the world, and forget that just yesterday you was thinking about buying a case of dynamite.

Guys,
you all can probably imagine my state of mind. I was so happy when i saw the plastic piece stick out of the hole. This car is a love hate relationship. Just when you think you want to part it out it crawls back under your skin again!
