Morning @k31th!

 

Took my daily into Monsta Torque on tuesday to get oil pump gears installed. Got it back yesterday evening with a nice little baggie of metal that Rob found in the sump. Said in all his years of working on these rigs he's never seen this before.

 

Looks to be an oil drain gasket that was dropped into the motor and left to steep! Apparently its likely it went through the timing chain. He spent a lot of time inspecting the motor for damage but couldn't find anything of concern which is so freaking lucky! 

Guess I'll keep this as a memento for what could have been a very day should this have broken something!

ouch... an oil drain gasket in the sump, that's super unlucky... but then again, super lucky it didn't do any damage to the motor.

Yea my thoughts exactly! 

Rob gave me the pieces and all photos he took for warranty purposes in case anything happens. 

But we all know how much of a scam the warranty companies are so really, is there any point even documenting it 🙃

 

4 claims made through nwc so far and 0 have been accepted 🤣

 

In other news, I've always wondered why I never got email notifications from the forums. Doubled checked my settings and all seems in order... Just checked my spam folder and EVERY notification email from threads are there!! 

 

WTF GMAIL!

I had a tennis ball growing inside my lower abdomen so they had to chop it out and check out a few things while they were in there.

Stop shoving tennis balls up your butt
