another vote for a shop vac...if the intake valve is closed, it will come right out

Lets review.

There's a 1/4" (.250) piece of PAPER gasket in the intake.
A stock cam has .444" of lift on the intake.
With an idle of 750, that intake valve will open about 46 times in 1 minute with at least 130 LBS of seat pressure; not to mention THAT cylinder will light off about 46 times within that minute.

Ask youreself a question: Do you have anything to worry about? That garbage will pass in a second, and your motor will never know it was there.

sry, my math was off.

Haha! I love it. We start off with your motor is gonna explode and end up with don't worry about it!

I've gonna try to suck it out with a vacuum but if she doens't come I'm leaving it.

I also posted on hotrodders.com (lots of engine building experience over there) and they all said to not worry.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

Thanks.

LoL, it's just a piece of paper. It might as well not even be there.

so what happened?

Drexl

yeah i wouldnt think a piece of paper would wreck anything.


so yeah.. what happened.. im guessing nothing

lead09

LOL! Nothing happened.

I've had the car tuned on a dyno (lot's of high rpm runs) and I've put about 80miles on it. No smoke or anything. I tried vacuuming and blowing out the cylinder with comp. air but I don't know for sure if I got the paper out or not.

She is running awesome though. 310hp/324tq at the wheels...

Thanks for the concern...

I can gaurantee that it was out the first half second you cranked it.
