blueovalz Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Drained my oil on the new engine, and this was on the magnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hawk Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Is that the spring that runs around the front cover seal? Ugh. It looks like it took a few trips around the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Looks like a shaving off an engine lathe! Break a piston ring and gouge the cyl wall? Or something simular, but equally disheartening. Hope it's nothing as serious Terry...sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Doc got it on the nose. What happened is when I installed the damper, it pushed the spring off the seal, (and get this), got caught between the damper sleeve and the base of the crank (actually left about 1 1/2 inches of the spring almost imbedded into the damper sleeve. Anyway, it's all out, new seal in (WITH the spring in place). First time for everything, even after 30 years of putting motors together.
