What a morning
Came over to the garage to button up a few things on my car. First thing I did was jack up and try and change the oil. I pulled the drain plug out and no oil came out. I got a magnet and stuck it through the hole and there was a metal piece blocking the hole. I started panicking thinking something in my engine broke started looking and figured I could pull the pan fairly quickly. Here's what I found. It's a piece of the windage tray. I had to clearance it when putting it all together to clear the oil pump pickup. Probably wasn't supported very well and probably vibrated and the crank kissed it at one point and broke it off. Everything else inside the engine looks good. No damage to the crank or rod. Thank God.
