hey everyone, im in the middle of reassembling the engine, but as it turns out this one piece here i have no idea where it goes. i know it's part of the block for sure, but no idea where. HELP! thanks

 

ok i may have a lead...i think it MIGHT go somewhere inside the crank case near the oil pickup since it was close to it? any ideas?

edit: just fyi, it's one inch long or so...

Well. . . what did you have disassembled? Start with that. . .

 

my entire engine was disassembled...i've just started putting my crank back in and am right now on the pistons...all i know is that it was in the general vicinity of my oil pickup that was lying on the garage floor

 

What size is it? Put a quarter next to it so we can get a sense of scale.

Went and looked at the two spare blocks I have and I just disassembled one just a couple weeks ago. No such piece that I could see...

 

Maybe its something else that was on your garage floor. If your garage is anything like mine then it is full of crap.

 

hey rock, i'm 100% positive that it's from my engine.

danno: i went ahead and posted new pics at the top. does that help any? hopefully it does some good.

i'm still bent on thinking that it came from my crankcase around the oil collector area though. any ideas anyone?

 

I have disassembled over fifty 944 engines and have never seen a part like that from a 944 engine.

Check your camshaft spring tensioner - it looks like the part that holds the spring between the bracket and the swing arm. The long part goes inside the spring.

 

WOOPS First post - make that the cambelt spring tensioner.
