Help look what i found in my lower oil pan

[ernaldmerican]

Decided to drop lower oil pan as it was rusting pretty bad. I found (see pictures) pieces of yellow / white plasitc in the bottom of the pan. Any ideas what it might be?

Sohc?

Without seeing the photos, I'm only guessing but if you have a SOHC the pieces are probably from your timing chain guides or tensioner.

I agree. Oil pan was full of plastic pieces when I opened her up to replace all the guides.

Scroll down to the pics of inside the engine and the oil pan. Is that what you're seeing?
