I finally getting the last of the details of my head replacement, putting the valve cover back on. I have the acorn nuts sitting on a piece of cardboard on top of the radiator support. When along comes a gust of wind and in slow motion 5 of the nuts go airborne into the front of the engine down into the intermediate and crank gears. I hadn't put the front upper cover on yet, but was able to see and get 2 of them out with my magnet. Nothing on the ground or sitting anywhere else. Looks like I'll have to pull the crank pulley and bottom cover off tomorrow and hope that'w where the landed. Bummer. Anyone else have any interesting stories to share?
