Your whatsis is the copper seal! Go back and read my earlier posts. In
one of them I said the copper seal likes to turn sideways and get lost
beside the delivery valve. In another i suspected the "piece of metal" was
the copper seal. You paid for his education. I am glad you got your car
back without major cash infusion. He obviously has never worked on a
delivery valve before. Bet his work was not sanitary either.

Talked to my Indy this morning and he told me to hold off buying an IP
just yet.
This afternoon he called to say the car was fixed.
So I'm going to paraphrase here, don't jump all over me.
Apparently theres a whatsis in the IP for each cylinder and its held in
place by a pin, when he pulled the line to replace the o-ring the whatsis
must have lifted up (suction?) and rotated in its bore. Havoc ensued...
This wasn't discovered until he did a comparison between each whatsis
and discovered that two of them had turned. Correctly back in place
everything seems fine. No more fuel smell and the engine seems a bit
peppier to boot. I'll know more tomorrow after a good long run to work.
