Strange part in carter
« on: July 01, 2023, 07:27:45 AM »
Hello everyone, because there was a tap in my engine block I wanted to take a look at the connecting rod bearings.
But after removing the sump pan I found this part.
I can't guess what it is.
Does anyone know this?
Maybe it's the cause of the noise.

Thanks in advance!

Grtz Nick

I'm not sure that's part of the motor. Looks like tooling, perhaps part of a hex key socket? I'd guess it fell into the sump after some work was performed.
