something in fuel rail...what is it? Also, pulse dampener question.
im in the middle of doing my heads and cam, and im almost done. I took the fuel rail off and painted it silver. After, i was tilting it from front to back and heard this rattle. its like theres a ball in the drivers side half of the fuel rail . I'm assuming that this isnt supposed to be in there ? It is small enough to fall into the crossover tube, but not out the injector holes. So, I'm thinking it will come out if I pull the pulse dampener. what all is supposed to be in the pulse dampener anyway? Thanks.
