Another reason to hate the metric system...

I bet they went crazy looking for that thing on the garage floor.

Looks like it did a fine job of de-carbing that cylinder. And what brand socket is that? it looks like it can take a pounding.

What car was that piston in?

Wait!!! I can't wrap my head around this one.
Did someone leave a socket in the oil pan and it got kicked up and sent it thru the piston????

 

[BigblueC]

From the impact marks on top of the piston I'm pretty sure it went in through the intake, or was left in when the head was put on.

That’s definatly a cool paper weight.

I can't see it getting past the bottleneck at the valve.

I bet a 10mm would fit right through the hole for the spark plug...

Ok. Let's say it does.
A socket can't "fall" through a sparkplug hole...

Maybe not with headers but I could see it happening with cast manifolds.

It looks to be a deep well socket. As stated earlier, "The inquiring minds want to know".

I’m innocent. I still have my 10mm tucked away in a lock box
