Identify Metal parts in Oil
1988 3.3 Carerra rebuild 2,000 miles ago. Heard a rattle/vibration, worse when engine warm at 2000 to 2300 rpm with decelaration.Thought it was the chain tensioners, but they look good. Main oil relief valve is serverely stuck, prob not giving oil to the tensioner. These were on the magnet of the drain plug. Kicker is the plug fell into the oil recept where there was some foreign debris in the oil waste pan and could have attached then. Are these from a 911 engine?

Am looking at a picture of the tensioner and I think it is. I could not see top of tensioner with it up in the air.

Just noticed that you are in Tappahannock Va. Do you by any chance remember red/black 85 Targa that was for sale there about a year ago? It has been rebuilt and repainted etc and is running like crazy down here in it's new home.

Yes I did see your car. Be aware of the person u purchased from is a crook. Sold me a camper with a 900,000 unit recall frig for fires. Mine burned to the ground. He told me to bring in the serial # from the frig which melted to nothing.

Not my car. I do know the new owner. After paint and engine work he is very happy with the car. Is almost a daily driver and seems to have a lot of power. The "crook" didn't sell it for much and in the end it has turned out to be a bargain. Hasn't caught fire yet.
