I had a feeling you were a kindred spirit who cared about less fortunate creatures. That cat on I-95 probably used up at least 8 of her 9 lives.

I always suspected Mr.X had more than one position in the Danish world so I figured I would not ask for too much at one time....Just at GT2 RS , what the heck....

Debris and Dog
Finally , pictures of the crap in the oil pan that should not be present.The pieces are not mangled it seems other than the timing chain guide piece.
Next week the motor starts to go back together.


The hound is still at my home as well....

Rather one of the bolts for the chain guides,I think..

The nut looks like one of the nuts used to attach the oil rails on top of the cams...
