It looks too thin to be anything from inside the motor. Nice toes!

it is defiantly a regular flat washer im not sure how i got into the intake and then into the compression chamber but my guess is it was drop by one of the jackasses at the junkyard and somehow i did not notice it

but it is not a internal motor part its an galvanized flat washer

oh and ill be uploading some pics of my big toe soon two layers of stitches 5 inside and 10 outside

lol i dont think it matters what you wear. i had a work related accident back in december and my big toe was way worse than that. the stitches i had were to put my big toe back on my foot cuz it was hanging by the last peice of meat lol. point being we need to b more careful guys lol. ill see if i can post pics if you want lol.
