But when I drained it to my suprise this part came out from the drain plug. It is a small strip of metal with black plastic on both sides. About 1.5 inch long.
Can anyone identify this? The engine has been running well since I have had it, no noises or anything.

When they break, the chain jerks them into the pan.
Might try adjusting the chain.
How many miles on the motor?

It's probably part of the front cam chain guide. From the wear on it, it looks like the chain was whipping against it.
When they break, the chain jerks them into the pan.
Might try adjusting the chain.
How many miles on the motor?
I guess that makes sense. Everyone seems to agree here.
33K on the motor, never been rebuilt.
Where is this located at? Something the motor needs to be pulled for to replace?
Thanks for the help so far guys.
