Yep, I'll be in limbo for a while. That's a nasty chunk of metal you describe.

theiceman

my wife looked at it and said " that's it " ?????

I think she was expecting half a piston :-)

Where did it come from Ice?
Is that small enough to go through the screen on the oil pump?
check it with a magnet to see if it's steel or alumium.
What do you think it is off? The oil pump gear drive?

Sure it wasn't there all along??

Just trying to make you feel better!

Well I am prettty **** about checking my oil magnet and it was not there previously. I will see if I can get a pic and post it . It looks cast alum. but I will check it with a magnet to see what metal it is.

not sure what size the screen is but I think so .

The good news is, that it seemingly traveled harmlessley thru the motor to the tank? I had three of the valve adjuster locknuts spin off when I bent my valves. This is a common side effect. The good news for me is I found all three in the camtowers, but one was scrunched up a bit. I'm guessing it got hammered by a rocker or something, but I had no scars indicating any damage to cam lobes or anything.

While "someone up there" throws us a curve occasionally, to cause us to learn and improve, he does look out for us after all!
