What is that? I'm trying to picture it but, I can't.
Looks like a broken cam chain guide to me, most certainly not a good thing. :S
That sucks Don.
Have you tried pulling the oil pan to see if it made it past everything else without causing damage and ended up there?

Cam chain follower.
Well, ain't that special?
Actually, I've seen the whole mess drop out and go swimming in the pan and run for who knows how long before getting fished out. :huh:
Amazing machines. :whistle:

If your motor hasn't been apart for a long, long time, then what you see is not surprising. That is a very common wear pattern and I predict you will find little more than itty bitty chunks in your oilpan. While I haven't had alot of 1000 motors apart, all the early model 1000's had this type of worn guide:). Replace all the internal rubber adjusters in your motor.
