Got the engine removed and striped down, replaced the exhaust valves and resurfaced the rest, everything was looking good until I turned the head over and found asmall steel bee bee on my bench, I know it came out of a hole in the head but which one? anybody run across that before?

 

Send me a photo. Ive got a couple heads we can come pair photos of

 

Will do tomorrow, Thanks

 

My girl just sent me a photo. Im at work. It appears theres only one ball that plugs a hole. And its located over by the head bolt that outside the head by itself. On the back side or intake side of the head.

 

hope you can see the pic, you can see the 2 bearings in the holes they are larger then the one I found, the only other hole is the one with the cut out around it, I hate to put in the wrong place.

 

No photo

 

Look at the head gasket relative to that hole. Then look at the block. See if that other is a drain hole. Send a photo of the ball bearing as well. If you decked that head enough to knock that bearing out, it got chopped pretty good.

 

Stick a clothes hangar in the open holes and see where it pops out.

 

These are the two spots

 

Thanks for the pic. I posted a pic of the head in my gallery, Mine has those two ***** still in it, I'm thinking maybe the hole streight down from it in the pic. with the bevel cut around it

 

Also thinking it may be a check valve to keep oil in the head when shut off.

 

Ill look at my head when i get home. I'll be home in about 40 minutes. Pm'd

 

That would great Thanks, I'll give you a call.

 

All was for not, my buddy where I took the head apart has a tool repair shop and I think it was a stray bee bee that I found,none were missing from the head> Thanks for all the help.
