It will most likely completely destroy your engine if you operate it with a washer of any kind inside the cylinder. sweetp01569 <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: While taking out my injectors to send out for cleaning, I accidentally dropped one of the small copper washers. I will be looking for it when I have some time, hoping it dropped down below somewhere in a harmless location. It wasn't on the floor when I looked. Probably a small chance, but what if the washer dropped into the open injector opening into the cylinder? I am hoping I don't have to disassemble anything to look for it, and wondered if serious damage could occur if a washer did fall into the opening into the engine cylinder. Since it is a relatively soft and small washer, I would hope it would just get vaporized as the cylinder fired, or could it totally mess up the engine. Any advice is appeciated.
