I bought an old 87 Bayliner Capri last fall. The engine would not start when I got it, had zero compression on num. 4 cyl. I pulled the Intake, exhaust and head. To my surprise it looked like a new engine inside, zero ring grove, no burnt valves or seats... the compression problem was a stuck valve. I cleaned it up and got the stuck valve working properly but didn't reassemble until a couple of weeks ago. I have a bolt left over that I can not find a place for. The bolt is about 3 3/4" long with a plastic sleeve that's about 2 3/4" long with a 10mm head. It's obviously been somewhere hot, probably around the exhaust manifold but I can't figure out where. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The engine does start and run pretty good now, considering timing has been set by ear by a guy that's nearly deaf.
