[Fot] Oddity found in TR4 oil pan.

[Greg Blake]

I know you said you can’t find any play but I’d suggest a full tear down. That amount of metal is not good. This is just what you are seeing in the pan, think of what got circulated through the motor. Pull your bearings. My guess is they are gone. I saw this in a cut oil filter once and the rod bearings were shot. Actually crank was cracked in a couple locations too. Hopefully in your case just hammered bearings. My guess is your oil filter and cooler are full
If this too. Good luck.

Center Main bearing looks great.   Any ideas?   These are large copper colored shards, pic below.  Appears to have some steel on them too, maybe.   Maine and Rod bearings are the king Tri-Metal and were calico coated.  No sign of coating on these shards.   Anyone have a best guess?   Can’t find any play anywhere...
