Reed petal screws coming loose.

[MrTwoJay]

I just curious if anyone had a reed petal screw come loose and ingested?
When I assembled my engine, I noticed there were some recesses where the screw heads should be, but never bothered checking what clerences there are.
My quesion is, if a screw would come loose, will it fall out and get ingested. Or will it stay there?
I am too lazy to open it up again just to look, and waste another gasket... I had to use 3bond on both sides to seal the leaks, as some moron overtitened the bolts.

Personally never had one fall out, but have have heard stories of it happening.

If in doubt, check it out!​

if a screw comes loose, you will be opening that engine back up to see the carnage it created.
thats the beauty of the v-force 3/4 reeds......no screws to get ingested
