Dropping a £1 coin down the oil fill

[Austin-182]

Dont worry ive not done this lol! But ive allways wondered what would actually happen if you droped something small down it, eg £1 coin, screw etc
What damage would be done exactly?

 

[sammyhale22]

It could get jammed under a cam lobe and then the timing belt would slip. I think thats what would happen.

 

[sideways danny]

most likely dislodge a rocker arm, jam the cam and result in a load of bent valves

 

[Scrooge]

Alot of damage, it would need to be fished out. I heard pouring 25kg of shotblasting sand in there will port and flow your head though, saving vast amounts of cash on headwork.

NO!!! you're doing it wrong, the sand need to go in through the throttle body. duhhhh

That's where I was going wrong. Do you need to rev it hard whilst pouring?

I can tell you what would happen, you would be £1 less richer - just think of all those penny sweets you could have bought with that £1

Good times, good times

get it bouncing off the limiter (make sure it's warm, dont want to cause any damage) and you'll get a better air velocity into the engine so the sand can act to it's full potential

Oh I forgot about the heat, with it being so hot the sand will silliconize thus protecting the engine aswell, silly me.

You're ambitious! lol

If you do drop a £1, run some water through it, this guy did, all worked out fine

Just remember not to rev it, leave it idling

Try it n let us no. Il happily give u a £1

 

[guysy]

I remember the thread about a bloke stopping at a service station and mistaking NOS energy drink for a fuel additive ... that was a good read

If anyone wants to make a youtube video of a running engine with a £1 dropped in could be interesting

My last classic mini had a pretty good build, made 86bhp atf from 1016cc - bear in mind standard 998cc minis have 38bhp - anyway i nailed it through 1st and 2nd and as i hit 9000rpm in 2nd i had a massive jolt and missfire.

thought id blown it, turned out a rocker nut had worked loose and popped off! as it was a mini i carried tools with me, so i had my ratchet and feeler gauges so i refitted it and gapped them all - how that nut didnt get stuck in something il never know

I love minis so much.

 

[p@blo]

Wouldn't putting money in the engine make it run rich?

stick some sugar in the fuel tank at the same time, it will run sweeter

I'm on my 3rd, miss my 1380 clubman the most.

Put George Osbourne in it and it'll run more economically... oh wait no...
