sucked paper towel in motor
Sunday, January 07, 2007 4:45 PM
I am such an idiot. I just got done hooking up my gauges tonight, So I started my car to check them out. I forgot about the paper towel i had in my throttle body to keep the dirt out and sucked about 1/2 of it into the motor. I pulled the intake off, in 2 of the runners there was debris from the towel. How much do you think i messed my motor up. Do you think i should pull off the turbo and check it out or do you think it will burn up and pass out ok?

if it was a paper towel I would think that it just burned up and it will be fine.

How would it get in the pan? It would have to get past the rings first. Do you think any of it could have done that?

yea, well it wont get in the pan unless it got sucked in threw the dipstick. *shakes head* it wouldnt have gotten in the pan, its sealed esentially


if it went threw the t/b then it will get burnt up and disapear. it wont due any damage, it will just turn to ash and blow out.

If someone is willing to put rice in a TB (3 posts down from that link), then I'm sure a paper towel will be just fine.

If your saying that it couldnt have possible entered the oil pan why would you drop it. Thats not being over cautious thats being dumb. And you play with boost? interesting. Nothing will happen from what you described its basically paper and will burn up in the combustion chamber and leave through the exhaust no worries.

Man you could have won $10,000 if you could have caught that on video.

you should be fine, the particles will be lgiht enough that they will pass through and get burned up, that and they should be soft enough that no harm would ever happend to the turbo.
