The Glass Man Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi all, new kid here Made a big mess up today and dropped a head dowel down an oil port in the block. I'm hoping its gone to the sump and would this be death to the engine if left in? It's gone down the port marked with the red line. Thankjs for any help fella's!

Lenny Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 my guess is, if it has fallen through to the sump, just fit a magnetic sump plug, these are very strong and will make it stick to the bottom of the sump pan, if its in their, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-FIESTA-SIERRA-MAGNETIC-OIL-SUMP-DRAIN-PLUG-/350394009257?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord&hash=item51951c46a9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del McDougall Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You could buy a Telescopic Magnetic Pick Up Tool there only 2 quid on eBay and should fit down the hole. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2Lb-Telescopic-Magnetic-Pick-Up-Tool-5-25-/150426198638?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item230619a26e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
