I can't think of anything that it would be. If it's got good oil pressure, breathers aren't pushing smoke out (I've seen some engines with bearing issues push smoke out, not from blow-by but from heat), and there wasn't flakes in the pleats of the filter, then I'd drive it for a bit and recheck it. |
Either a tube (could be wider diameter than 1/8" potentially - hard to tell from the pieces) or maybe some sort of "shaving" that ended up with a but of a curve to it?
I only have a breather on the
oil fill tube (closed valve covers and road draft tube off
oil vapor separator tank). I haven't noticed any smoke from it, but will check again if I end up checking the main bearings/thrust bearing.
I'm sort of leaning towards doing that and then driving it for 50 miles or so then checking the pan and filter again.
