After a valve in cyl 7 let go, I have ended up doing an engine swap. I was going to put the intake back on tonight and decided to give it a good shake in case some shrapnel got into it during the catastrophic failure. I would like some input on what the inside of the intake looks like, and my best method for getting the foreign object out. I doubt it’s more than a small fragment of valve, but i am having trouble shaking it out. I believe the the lower portion of the intake is doing a “good” job of preventing me from ejecting the object through one of the intake ports. If I have to take apart the manifold and buy a new gasket set for it, it will set me back a number of days which is not desirable.
Some input from you guys would be really helpful.
