Blown carb gasket
 

Well I took my camaro out for a spin around the block and I got on it a little bit and all of a sudden I started hearing this louding knocking sound. I was like sh*t!!!!!!!! I thought I threw a rod.... It was loud..... well I turned off the car and started it back up... heard it again... but when I gave it gas it went away so I knew it wasnt a rod....... the carb gasket in the front had been sucked in! now my question is, since this got sucked into the manifold will it be dangerous in away way? And what should I do about it? Never had this happen..... Thx

:eek: If u take your carb off u might be able to fish the pieces of the gasket out whith a piece of a coat hanger what type of carb are u running if u are using the paper type gasket u should find one that is thicker and make sure your carb is tightent to your specks good luck

Im running an edlebrock 750cfm manual choke. I will try that coat hanger thing.......... if I cant find any of the peices is it harmful that they are in the engine now? :(

hey hope you had some succes in geting the gasket out if you didnt get it with the coat hanger you might have to take the intake off to get the pieces i dont think it will hurt anything but its better to get a nother opinion i will check with my friend he will no for sure
