calliebrat Posted October 26, 2004 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2004 In the process of trying to find out what is broken in the engine we have discovered metal shavings & a couple of pieces in the bottom of the pan. Can anyone tell me what would cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81na ZX Posted October 28, 2004 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2004 How big are the pieces?Usually bits of metal are bearings. Could also hypothetically be pieces of valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted October 28, 2004 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2004 I'd lean toward bearings. If you had peices of valves make it to the oil pan, chances are you would be looking at replacing the block and head too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
