Hey, thanks very much for the reply, . We already know what the problem is though, read all the previous posts to see what's going on now, yeah, I know it's becoming a frinkin' novel.

I'm obviously going after the dealership at this point to try and cover the damage done, since they were the only ones to do any major work on the car in the past.

Obviously, a 10mm bolt could not of just made it's way in there on it's own. Somehow, it made it's way through the intake tract (most likely the upper I/C pipe in my opinion), lodged itself past the throttle body and has been rattling around in the valve cover area for the last 2 years/20,000 miles, and now has finally made it's way down into the block area. It currently, lodged itself in between an exhaust valve, killing my one cylinder, hence why my motor was running like shit.

Compression results were 0-165-165-160. Minus the 0 cylinder, those aren't too shabby readings for a 90,000 mile motor.

Anyways, the only people who did any internal/major work on the car before, was the dealership. Therefore, it had to of been them who dropped the bolt in there somehow. I have all my service records still, and the service advisor's boss is supposed to be contacting me.

Go to the following link to see another bad experience someone had with Brandon Mitsubishi. One of the things that caught my eye about this person's experience, was the fact that he mentioned that his tires on his 3000GT picked up "several screws that were dropped on the ground". Goes to show that people are after all human and drop shit, which I believe is what happened in my case. The tech who was working on my car, lost a 10mm bolt in my intake tract, and didn't realize it.
