The Patch

First time through an engine rebuild. It's an LS7. However, the only internal part I've changed is the cam. I am not familiar with every internal part of the LS7. I'm desperate to determine whether or not this piece came from my engine.

I have the engine on a stand and the oil pan has been off the last couple of days. Today I found this piece sitting on the floor directly under the engine. I cleaned and vacuumed my shop a couple of days ago so I'm pretty sure this didn't come from any other source.

Obviously, before I proceed I need to determine without a doubt that this piece did not come from somewhere inside the engine.

Thanks for any help!!!

I'm no expert but I haven't seen anything like that in the engine I built. Anyone else care to enlighten us?

Looks like an inner race for a ball bearing. I doubt it's related to your build.

Whew!! My son fessed up. He was in my shop using my tools to change out the bearings on his skateboard.

Well dude, you lucked out! That TOTALLY looks like a skateboard bearing! lol

Skateboard bearings in an LS7...you can't make this stuff up...


(Glad you got it figured out, $hit like that makes it hard to sleep at night)
