So I decide to drop my oil pan to try and fix a dent that was in it. I filtered the residual oil through a rag so I could collect any pieces. Wow, not a pretty sight:



Sure hope those aren't ring pieces. Would explain why my gas wreaks of oil

ring lands perhaps....haha time for a rebuild

 

Yeah man, you're screwed. It looks like that is what you would get if you went netting off the hudson river.. well maybe a boot and dirty needle to add to the mix. :P

 

Here's what I don't understand. How would these broken rings slip between the piston and cylinder wall? And I would atleast expect some clattering, but no...

-Tim

 

they wouldn't...

does your motor knock at all?

maybe those are peices of the pan inside that are jsut fallin apart

 

Do a compression test. Still got the old oil filter?

 

Story---one time I am changing the oil in my wifes vehicle and i pull the filter, and hear a rattling noise. WTF so I cut the filter open and there was a bolt in the filter. nothing wrong with the engine everything runs/works fine, but it was a scary moment.

 

Pulled my oil pan once, found a valve cover bolt that brock when I did my ZC swap. It was a little chewed but I hd to grind it off when I did the swap so I don't think it hit anything! Thank Goodness!!!!

 

when i pulled my pan i found 3 rabbit skullz and some rost beef

it was delicious!!

 

when I pulled my pan, hot oil spilled all over me cause I forgot to drain the pan; i was one sexy mess, you should have seen it.
