Oh darn.. Found something in my oil pan
Well, During the process of taking apart my engine I noticed a rattle noise when Ever I would turn the engine on the stand over...
It belongs to #4 so can I just pull the ring out of the piston, slide the piston out and screw this back in??

If one fell out the others may be loose too, if it were me I think I would deal with all four. Get the threads clean and dry and put them in with some loc-tite. When those things come out they rob a lot of oil from the crank and rods.

No matter how broke I am... I always seem to find two cents.
I was gonna get a flexy wrench on the others and see if they need tightened..
but other than that I'm Just gonna pull piston four and lock tite this sob in there... Cause I don't wanna deal with rings...

This happens a lot. I've heard of it before. Mine were all in somehow when I checked them.
Some people just take them out and cap the holes when they rebuild their engines because they think that the squirters will just fall out anyway and don't really do anything.
I dunno, I just kept mine. They seem like a good thing... so unscientific but meh.

To Tell you the truth I said the same thing... but I had heard about the nozzles before. so I got out the laptop with the service manuals and discovered were they belong, My question is should I put new rings on this piston when I Pull it or should I just compress em and throw it together
