$30 dollar tool kills a Ferrari engine

Interesting and unfortunate thread on Ferrari Chat thread about a piece being sucked off a cheap EMPI synchronometer (carburettor balancing flow meter) and destroying a valve and piston on a 308 engine.

Make sure no bits can fall off your flow meter when you are balancing your carbs - could be expensive!

I used this very brand of flow meter to sync my carbs last year - could have been a horror story. Now I'm not going to panic, I'll just fit some kind of gauze to the meter next time I use it.
