There are ways, not ideal but there are ways to keep debris in the
cylinder to minimum, first is liberal use of grease on the tap.

I accidently dropped a small stainless steel lock washer into the
carburetor of a Fiat 850 Coupe we had years ago. It was supposed
to go
under the wingnut that held the air filter cover on. It was
dark, and
when I went to put the cover on, I heard a little "tink", tink,
tink".
I didn't even think that it may have gone in the carb. Fired the
engine
up and within just a few seconds of running it caused enough
damage to
require the head to be removed and machined.

I'll one up you. I raced a 64 Vette fuel injection B production in
SCCA.
Somehow a spare spark plug bell in the injector manifold, probably
when
setting upside down near the work bench. During practice that plug
went
down one of the tubes. I guess the valves bounced it back up and
by the
time I pulled off because the engine was running really rough, it had
bent
7 of the intake valves.

I was putting an engine together last year to sell a KX125, I dropped a
screw in it and didn't notice. Had to call the guy back and tell him he
couldn't buy the bike. Sold it in a basket for 700 a few weeks later.

For a guy who often claims here he was a master wrencher, you sure seem
to have been clumsy and sloppy. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I have
taken a few yard equipment engines apart in recent years, and I managed
to keep track of all the pieces and parts. I use muffin tins for the
smallest parts like screws, pins, keys, bearings, et cetera. Son of a
gun, when I put them back together, there were no parts left over and
none missing.

That's cause you don't do enough of them (if any lol), and certainly
don't do them under anywhere near the conditions we work under. And if
you don't have any parts left over you must suck. When you truly aspire
to master mechanic you are blessed with a little phenomenon called
"immaculate reproduction"... usually in the form of little baby metal
thingies...

ESAD, you are absolutely the greatest at everything!

He's just jealous cause my kids built their own boats and rebuilt their
own race machines before the age of 14.. and of course they being girls,
harry is even more offended...

Hope you had a great Christmas Season and that your New Year is
spectacular!

As I said, I am not much of a mechanic, but when I do take a yard
equipment engine apart, I do keep track of the parts. The only parts
left over are the parts I've replaced.

Oh, there's *nothing* about your progeny that makes me jealous. I'm
perfectly happy with the intellectual, academic and career success of my
family members. Why you would think I would be "jealous" of a girl
motorbike racer is beyond me. What, exactly, is there to be jealous
of...that she's not going to college?

Well, she's learned a lot from her dad, remember now, he talked about
sucking dicks in front of her.
