something fell in a coolant hole, cant get it out... problem?

[phoenix6]

You know those little red straws that you attach to a WD-40 can to get a more direct spray? Well one fell into one of the coolant holes on the top of the block. Can I get it out somehow or is it ok in there and it wont be a big deal? Help me out here.

CAn you see it?

 

[phoenix6]

at one point, yeah I could, now I cant. I can flip it back over and see if I can see it again.

[phoenix6]

Turn the block upside down and shake it. Um try using a shop vac since those straws are light as fuck

Haven't you ever seen those prison movies? Get a straw or two, and put bubble gum on the end, it always works!

I'm sure heat wouldn't bother that tube anyway.lol

Then the gum and more straws would get stuck down there! :aigo:

Compressed air seems like the way to go.

The only problem with a high powered shop vac or something is he won't know if he get it or not......

 

[cwapface]

you can look inside the shop vac to see what it picked up...
