    Debris in the sump!

    Stripping my old 3B engine today, ready for a rebuild, I found this





    I can't remember it having any issues with oil pressure and aprt from this the inside of the engine seems remarkably clean.

    Anybody care to guess what it was?

    I guess its that plastik cover underneath the oil cap. The one to avoid splashing of oil from the camshaft

          I was going for caramac but you're probably closer. I think a caramac would have melted!
