This Can't Be Good!
 

Something tells me I shouldn't put this back on...am I right?

I think you might be missing a bit there!! :)

If you were looking for the cause of a high idle, I reckon you've found it!

LOL! I was actually wrapping up the head job and was reassembling everything...until I found this! So, I can't use this, right?

I guess I could...but I shouldn't...that's what I mean.

It needs replacing for sure. All putting that on will achieve is one cylinder running lean and probably misfiring.

And after all the work of a new head and gaskets and swearing like never before...no thanks! Amazon to the rescue I suppose.

Swearing is the only way to loosen bolts, unplug wires, getting things to fit and to get your fingers in places they won't fit. Sweating just lubricates everything..The Karma of the Mechanical Gods....
