BTDT The conversation went something like this:
Doing the final install on a new 911 motor.
Tim: Hey Dave, did you remove kimwipe from the breather hose opening?
Dave: I don't think so.
Tim: Well it's not there anymore, I think it got pushed into the engine
Dave: You sure?
Tim: Ya
Dave: Well it's not there now, don't worry about it.
30 minutes elapse and the car fires up..
chug, chug, chug, chug WHOMF!!!!, chug chug chug.
Tim(behind the wheel) Dave??, what was that??
Dave: I dunno but's ok now.
4 hours later after tearing down the motor for an oil pressure issue we find said kimwipe... shoved between 2 main bearing webs. afterwards he said the whole motor torqued about 5 inches.
