New 408 for the Flyfish
Well crap....might not happen this weekend. I was painting the motor last night, when I rolled it up on its side I herd something rattling around in the oil pan.....I pulled the drain plug and fished out a small chunk of cast iron with a magnet....looks like it was part of something with threads. Now I have to take the pan off, and possibly the timing cover to find the source of the metal....this sucks.
When I was torquing the pan bolts I had one make a snapping sound. I thought I might have broken a bolt. I backed it out and inspected and everything looked fine...put it back in and it was fine...my guess is maybe it came from the back side of that, or from the back of the cam retention plate bolts.
