<div>I've got an early BN1 and from everything I know, the oil
pan has never been off the car. I find that hard to believe,
but I have no record of it ever happening and I have receipts
going back to it's first oil change. Anyway, I just took the
pan off and found something very interesting, in the bottom of
the pan and it was in pieces. I took it out, cleaned it off
and took some photos of it to see if anyone knows what this
is. Neither my mechanic or I could find anywhere it was
"supposed" to go. I do know I've run more than tens years with
it sitting in the bottom of the pan and never a problem.</div>
<div> It's about 5" in diameter and in-between 1/8" and
1/4"in thickness. (Piston is from a BN1) So what's the wisdom
of the court? What the hell is this? Oh and it's made out of
either a very hard plastic or a bakelight like material.
Anybody have a guess? I'd love to hear. </div>
<div> I'm putting everything back together and going to drive
the car, don't see any reason not to, but wanted to let you
take a look and give me some thoughts. Thanks in advance.</div>
