Not very long after I started working at a CAT truck engine shop a Western Star came through the door with a bad miss (CAT C15). It was a desperate rush job and I was told to replace the broken rocker arm. Nobody mentioned (and I didnt know enough to ask) that I should also replace the rocker arm that didnt break on that cylinder. As I was leaving that day I saw the truck coming back hooked to a tow truck. The next morning I discovered that the other rocker arm had broken but one of the pieces fell between the cam and the side of the head and got pushed out of the head. So, I set about installing a reman head but it wasnt done with me quite yet. There is a piece that holds two o-rings that seals the back of the timing cover to the head which is secured with 3 short 1/4 bolts. And I dropped one. I fished for ages, eventually removed the oil pan, still didnt find it. It was later discovered residing in the air compressor :(. Fortunately I never saw that truck again.
