The saga of the entombed dowel Over
the weekend of April 11-13, 2009, I created a crisis of sorts when I
broke off the end of a wooden dowel inside the cylinder of my 2001
L1200LT while doing a valve adjust. I would not have been able to
extract it without the suggestions and advice of my friends on the
BMW-Tech listserv, particularly their gentle nudging to be patient and
their reassurance that I would eventually get it out. (See "foreign object"
thread on the BMWTech list at IBMWR.ORG) |
