Didn't you already get several answers to what it was on facebook.If i was to hazard a guess,after the lifter seized and broke,that piece probably popped out and fell through an oil drain back hole.Think several guys have told you the engine is done for,and i'm inclined to agree.Don't even attempt to do a cam and lifter job on it,just pull it and swap a new or used engine in place,as there's a good chance the main and rod bearings will be toast,as they'd get air first after the oil pan drained itself but the pump is still turning ,but is now pumping air.So with the engine being the way it is how could that have gotten into the oil pan without busting through a piston or something of that degree?
If you've got the pan off,why haven't you pulled a couple main caps and rod bearings,that's what you should be worrying about,instead of worrying about how a piece of lifter ended up in the pan.If I put both posts up at the same time of course I’m going to get many answers, and many of which don’t describe what I have going on. If the lifter seized and broke why would I not find the retaining clip, or why hasn’t it thrown a push rod. There was a cam job freshly done before this happened. If you can’t add input without throwing jabs don’t comment.
Common sense should have told you where the piece originated from,and that same common sense should of told you,there has to be someway the oil has to get back to the oilpan after it's been pumped up to the heads,and common sense should tell you,that there must be oil drain back holes in the block.With that i'm out,good luck on your adventure.That was the point of me taking the pan off. Why wouldn’t I worry about that as well.
See there you go. If I’m asking it’s for a reason. Can’t be common sense when not everyone has been working on engines long. Common sense would have told you that. Like I said bro if you can’t add without criticism don’t get on here. That’s not what this for.Common sense should have told you where the piece originated from,and that same common sense should of told you,there has to be someway the oil has to get back to the oilpan after it's been pumped up to the heads,and common sense should tell you,that there must be oil drain back holes in the block.With that i'm out,good luck on your adventure.
So you had to be told there's oil drain back holes in the block.How did you think the oil that's pumped up to the rocker shafts gets back to the oil pan,anybody with an eye and a$$hole should be able to figure out there has to be holes in the block to allow the oil to return to the pan.If you can't take critism "bro",the internet probably isn't for you,especially if you need a picture drawn for you. I'm pretty good at helping out,but at my age i don't have much patience for stupidity or the lack of common sense,See there you go. If I’m asking it’s for a reason.
