m47 killer tenticles
The strands are made of black plastic, they completely clogged the oil pump pick up & killed the engine. Could it be something fell into the engine and got chewed up, maybe in the timing belt case and ended up in the sump.. When I remove the engine I will check for bits of missing plastic covers etc. Last edited by -Joe; 8th December 2008 at 15:52.. Reason: corrected spelling |

I suspect that fell in during an oil refill/top up. A bottle cap maybe?
