Uncertain PCV crankcase mishap 740 230f non turbo
Last night working late on changing the pcv breather box and flame trap something happened. I bought from IPD a new breather box. Unbeknownst to me there are two aluminum sleeves that sit in the bolt holes that were very loose on the IPD version. The old box had them too but they are super tight. I did not think to check the new one to see if they were snug as well.
While fiddling the new box around trying to get the new one installed both of the sleeves popped out. I found one but not the other. I am concerned it dropped into one of the two holes leading to the crankcase.
I checked with flash lights and being aluminum no magnet can work on those little sleeves. I could not see one in the holes. But I only found one sleeve and can?t find the other.
Question is IF that sleeve fell into one of those oil crankcase holes - what will Be the result of starting the vehicle?
BTW I drained the oil to see if anything passed through but nothing was there.
Any insights would be helpful...
Thanks
