i changed my oil yesterday and i pulled the plug and the oil drain bolt had a valve lock stuck to it. i remembered when i did my cam swap, i was putting the valve locks on and i lost one in the head. i never found it . . until now. car runs okay, with no problems.

just thought i'd share my experience

I lost a retainer lock when doing my cam/spring swap. Never did figure out where it flew when it broke loose........

lol, that's great. I myself lost an ARP head bolt nut and couldn't find it for the longest time while I was putting my new engine together. I thought it got lost in the plastic wrap that the engine came in. I put the heads on and everything, ready to bolt up the rockers, and one pushrod just wouldn't go in. Turns out the head nut had fallen into a lifter cup (and not down into the engine thank god). Had to take the heads back off and get that bitch out (what a PITA). I even overnighted a nut from ARP so that I could continue the install when I lost the first one

damn that really sucks. at least you found the nut before you tried to turn it over

Uh yea... I was worried as all hell until I finally laid eyes upon it and saw first hand that it wasn't in the engine.

You guy wiht dropping **** in the engine, luckily a lot of this stuff is too big to make in the oil pick up.
