I pulled it out of the hole for the fuel pump pushrod.

Just happened to hear it clank when I was trying to get the pushrod back in. Amazing something worse didn't happen http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I had my block all ready to get cleaned, pulled it into the machine shop on a hand truck. And the guy jabs a screwdriver in there and pops them out and hands um back to me. I felt kinda stupid, didn’t know they came out. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
