I dropped my oil pan to put in my s14 oil pickup, seems the car already has an s14 oil pick up.

But this was in the pan when I poured out the rest of my oil. I'm thinking that if this is not rubber and actual metal. I know why my car is running like shit now and it aint a boost leak.

awesome.

WTF IS THIS SHIT!!!

I think it fell down the front of the engine, someone maybe removed the chain guide and broke it and just let this shit fall in the pan and said "fuck it." Feel's kind of plastic'y going to take a magnet to it to make sure it's not metal.

i had the same thing in mine when i changed out my block. about the same amount of it too. i figured it was the chain guide as well. but as long as it dont go back in the new set up, who cares where it came from?....

yeah it's not sticking to a magnet, any of it. So it looks like it's plastic.

Thanks guys, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I'm still so foreign to the sr20 and chain driven motors. This seriously was going to break my heart if they were chunks of metal.

We can lock this up now.

Disaster Averted.

Tested with a magnetic drain plug, nothing stuck.

You can see that big chunk up top how it has a line going through the middle of it, like a piece of manufactured plastic from a mold. Some of it I can see through or bend.

PHEW!!!
