Default The T/A is down indefinitely

Well I found something today while changing my oil that you absolutely don't want to find stuck to the magnetic bolt in the oil pan......2 large pieces of metal I'm going to pull the valve covers off this week and check things out. Needless to say I'm not in the best of moods

do you have the stock rockers in there, the needle bearings in them are known to fail and you will find them stuck to the magnet. post up pics of the pieces.

Argh that really sux bro. Hope it's actually more minor than it looks/sounds.

But I am glad that I got to spend some quality time with the beast (like 11 hours straight! ) last Sunday before it (potentially) goes under the knife and I don't see it for a while.

btw, is the C.I. board down for everyone or is it just me?
