i found this in the bottom of my oil pan any idea what it is guys?

circled in red everything else is the contents of my pocket for scale.

kinda concerned.

What is the material? Is it a Magnet?

Otto

metal mild steel id say,
its punched out you can tell by the edges.
about a inch by a 1/4 and 1/16 thick.
looked through the parts list for my engine and i dont see it anywhere.
where did it come from!
love a mystery!

A keyring, a pack of doobie doo's and a lil' black doohickey. How the hell did they get there...unless....you got hippies. Look for a van...them keys go to something.!

Are the black things metal or rubber?

By your description it sounds like it's a spline key.

exactly my thinking but i have little or no knowledge of the witchcraft that go's on in the engine.
maybe i should ask the wife :huh:
she has a pointy hat and "KNOWS EVERYTHING"

is somebody messing with you,dood:laugh: :laugh: :dry: :dry: :blush: :woohoo:

ill be honest it could have been there for almost 20 yrs.
and as i can't identified it from the engine parts diagram im thinking its nothing to worry about!

how ever the rolling papers and a rubber duck key ring means i still have serious issues.

some guys have all the luck...i never find anything in my oil pans....i feel robbed....how much are you gonna list it on e-bay for.....it could be original kawasaki factory installed early z-1 parts....

Probably part of the cam chain guide. Pretty common on the older 1000's and 900's.

Wait! I didn't notice the drawing materials in the upper corner! You don't got hippies....you got artists!!! OH CRAP ....maybe you got hippee artists!! Get the witch..er...wife to bake some Alice-B-Tokeless Brownies and put them under a large box propped up by a stick. When you get them take them at least 20 miles away before releasing them. Send the leftover brownies to me.

Yeah my guess is cam chain guide. Stamped metal. I'd investigate.
