man, thats ****ty, i was off roading and sucked a bolt into my engine from my k&n round air cleaner, and the bolt managed to pass thru my entire engine and out my exhaust...no damage done, i took apart my whole engine, checked it all, and replaced my injectors, gaskets, and painted everything while it was off, but i got 95xxx on my truck and that engine looked brand freakin new...me and my buddy were really surprised

well it worked! she's runnun fine right now.Made a cardboard copy using the gasket as a stencil nd took a water bottle which fit over the vacuum hose and duct taped it together.stuck it on the intake and sucked em out! did find oil in there so it was all for not.Time for a plenum gasket.
