Not an Owl hehe though I can totally see that now!

It's an engine delivered to me for rebuild .. with bits of airbox wedged inside the intake port ... luckily too big to get completely past the corner so the valve is not bent .. but could have been nasty. With the throttles closed you would probably never have known it was there until eventually it moves a bit further and kaboom!
