Not what you expect when pulling a intake
 

So me and Rob-WS6 started to pull apart the motor from the 96 parts car we got a couple years ago. This engine ran great, and we never touched it until now.

Pulled the intake and these was a surprise inside......








ready?

:shock::shock::shock::shock:

what the ****ing **** is that?!?

Is that actually a rag that someone left in there?

ps - where has Rob been?

a rag that apparently someone forgot to remove when setting the intake. :shock:

yes it is.

hes around. just had a kid a few weeks ago so hes busy with the family mod.

hmmmm
intresting

thats awesome hahaha

sweet a free rag!

thats a nifty valley pan you have there :-)

it was obviously used to keep oil in the lifter valley so everything is already oiled on startup :lol:

It stops oil sludge in its tracks!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

that rag almost looks like it was put in there intentionally. it looks too perfectly spread out, i wonder if its some kind of old school racing trick :lol:

Im still alive... I can be caught lurking every now and again. 8-)

And Im pretty sure that who ever tried to fix the inherint lt1 intake oil leak put that there to protect agaings debris falling the the valley while scraping off the old gaskets and what not... how the hell they forgot about it is beyond me!

:shock::shock::shock:
I've never seen this before you actually posted ;)

hell yea man just rinse and its brand new! haha

it actually desintegrated as we were pulling it off....

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAH man thats awesome...that really is.
get a shop vac and just suck it out.

It def does look like it was purposely put there. I bet it adds 10 hp i mean come racing stickers do it why not a free rag

thats insane. I'd love it if someone found some sort of tool in that area like a wrench or box cutter lol.

the lifters need a blanket lol

WTS: 96 Z28 . Doesnt run . Rag Included. Makes me want to pull my 96 Z's intake LOL

Yep it's an old school racing trick,adds 100 hp. lol,
get that rag the heck outta there.

motor is already stripped to the shortblock (which I am keeping). The heads w/ valvetrain, intake, ecm + wiring, timing cover with opti, (great for a vented conversion) are all up for sale.
