Knocking on Heaven's Door?

[Ravenelli69]

If it had a metal pipe connected then it was an injector, but if it had a wire to it then it was a glow plug, yes/no ??

Metal pipe connected!

Did it look like this?

Bottom right hand of diagram - thats the one!

Glowplugs would have a solid flat metal bar across them, injectors a hollow metal pipe.

whatever you were trying to do I think if you've dropped anything into the cylinder then you've got problems.

If its a steel part you may be able to get to it with a magnetic removal tool.


My advice would be NOT to attempt to start the engine until you have removed the item.

So it was that spring numbered 23618 on that diagram that went into the engine?

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my spanners in the ground
I can't use them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

good luck!

There is no way it went into the engine as there was no where for it to go as 23624 was still attached to the engine, the last thing I took off was the item below 23654

If you'd said that earlier, instead of saying it dropped into the engine. You have a shagged injector. That's why you're getting the knock.

All,

Had a go at changing the spark plugs today on my 1993 Hilux, and typically have ended up in a mess. The first thing I did was remove the bar that goes across the top of where I think the spark plugs are located. Then I set about removing the 1st bolt (which I slide back across the connecting bar)
and then the 2nd bolt. Once this was done I got a 19mm deep socket to remove what I thought was the spark plug - it goes into the engine at an angle. When I took this out a spring (I checked it was a spring by opening the one beside it to make sure I wasn't imagining things) fell into the engine never to be seen again! I put everything back (minus the spring) and started it up. Now I have a knocking sound coming from the engine!

Was I even working on the spark plugs, if not, what was I working on?
Pieces I took off looked nothing like the plugs I got from the auto shop)

Any advice greatly appreciated

Geoff

Did it just fall ito the engine bay??

His fault description technique will have to be worked upon, won't it.

All,

Sorry for not explaining it properly, and taking up so much of your time.

Is this serious, how do I go about rectifying it?
