I really would worry about that after you check out the engine.

but you could siphon it out.

but should i try to find the screw first or not?

Tex95Z

Yes you SHOULD try and find that screw first.

DrZ28

but then im pretty much rebuilding the engine anyways right? because im gona have to replace all the gaskets and everything only to probably find out that i have to replace the engine anyways

Well a gasket set isnt all the expensive from a parts store.

It depends on how long the motor was ran w/ whatever is in there to tell the damage and what needs to be replaced.

If your looking for a new engine,GM has a great line of crate engines to drop in it.

DUDE,, YOUR NOT EVEN SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN THERE it could be nothing, or it could be something,, ok so if you rip it apart to check for that screw that yo have no idea where it is,, your gonna drop some money. basically rebuilding it. and if your start it with the screw( that might not be in there) then you gonna have to rebuild as well with money. this douche bag you bought it from dosent seem like he knows much,, CHRIST SAKES IT COULD BE A RATTLING HEAT SHIELD FOR ALL WE KNOW,, either way your gonna have to dish out some cash, unless theres nothing in thier dont always believe what your hear.. AGAIN MY OPINION RUN IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
