I found this in my sump

(1/3) > >>

MaximoGF:
Hey guys

In preparation for my first engine start attempt I was draining the oil and checking the sump tray. The oil was ok, no gunk but I found this laying in the tray. I am guessing this is bad new and it means something in my engine has broken down. any ideas what it is?

Looks like a bearing cage? Not sure but not a good thing to find.

MaximoGF:
Sounds ominous Mathew, repairable though?

steff750:
 yes i had same problem once years ago i would strip engines for fun then,the days when engines was cheap as chips
 a previous owner had blown the gearbox doing sprints and hill climbs in my case
 i stripped the engine for nothing ,but i had to be sure i spose   ;)

Trigger:
Good job that you found it before it has done any major damage .
