Ok heres the deal, I ****ed up and forgot to locktite the cam bolt in (10mm allen head holding the sprocket for the chain) and it came out. I snapped a cam and have replacements coming. No big deal right.......well sorta right. I have no apparent damage and got the motor turned off QUICK and dont think there is going to be damage past what I see now................except on the sprocket for the chain is a washer/spacer between the sprocket and the bolt. I found the bolt on the side of the road (remember I said I turned it off QUICK) and there are no metal particals. But no washer. It ~is~ possible it came out of the engine with the bolt ~but~ I have no way to be sure. I have removed the guides and looked around as much as I can and am going to drain the oil and fish with a magnet a little.
If I find it....I dont know yet how ill get it out. Thats not what im worried about, what if I DONT find it.
