What a coincidence.   I dropped my oil pan last night to fix a couple of
stripped bolt holes.   The one in aluminum at the front causing a serious oil
leak.   Helicoils required I presume.  I have 5/16 NC helicoil kit from
trailing 
arm repairs.

Anyways, I found what looks like part of a tiny metal
washer in the sump along 
with a few tiny metal chunks.   Not sure if this is
part of a valve keeper or 
whatever?  


Head was professionally re-built and
upgraded about 7 years ago.   About 3 years 
ago we had the sump off to
install new thrust washers and didn't find anything 
too unusual.
Advice/recommendations?

Thank you,
