i bought a single cam motor and when i took the oil pan off, i found a lot of plastic chunks. it was said that the guy drove the motor before it was taken out, and it sat for a while before it was pulled a week or so ago. thats when i bought it. any ideas?

Yeah i got the same reply on a 240 group on Facebook. Is that a bitch to replace? Should i buy anothet motor or fix it?

Yup, it just bought a shell and the chain guide was all tore up. If you need any parts I still have a lot of extra stuff from a single cam. Let me know what you need. If you pay shipping, they're yours for free.

does the car still run okay? or did it run? replace the timing chain/guides if it's still running.

idk man, we didnt even put it in, my friend was like just return the motor and they left, so i didnt put it in the bay and start it up. im having a friend coming in a few weeks to fix the chain guide and clean out the motor. had a lot of sludge

This happened to me. Oil pressure light turns off & on.
I removed oil filter and found chunks of plastic in it.
I don't know why, it only has 297K miles!, lol
Oh well, time for a tear down.
Anyone else do this, what type of damage should I expect (N/A KA24DE)?

Added wear and tear on the chain since its grinding metal to metal...
