catamai98 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sorry if I broke a rule posting that here. Inside my valve cover on my A6 C6 BLB found a piece of metal down on the left side, I attach a photo. Sorry if I'm not speaking well, English it's not my language. Thank you in advacne for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Your English is good 🙂 Any loose metal in an engine isn't good. What was the reason you decided to take the head off the engine? You might need to do further dismantling to make sure there's no further loose metal elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catamai98 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 To change the glowplugs and I saw that little piece there. However, the engine sounds and runs well, but I can't take my mind off that metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Q Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Definitely not a rivet in my opinion. It couldn't be a top of a head bolt that's been miss shaped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
