[QUOTE="nervous, post: 967258, member: 28670"] Man oh man, I am feeling your pain and this has me on the edge of my seat. I had hoped that by the time we got here you woudl have had a happy ending. You have been given a lot of options so my .02 on that front has nothing to offer but I know that "Oh Shit" feeling you had very well and it ain't no fun. I think patience is the #1 thing to stress in this situation. Dig in and keep moving forward until you either conquer it or wreck it. That seems to be my Modus Operandi. The picture of your wrench jogged a serious memory for me though that might help someone else avoid your agony in the future. A couple years back I made a valve screw adjustment tool for my 1200 Bandit and had a flash of the kind of thing that happened to you should some oily hands loose their grip and it end up down a dark oil passage. I remember intentionally adding an oversized eye screw to one end and actually tied it off with a string to something so it couldn't get away.
