I had the sump plate off of my 3.0 and as I looked inside I found this steel clip looking thing at the rear of the opening, near the chain housing. Does anyone know what it is? I figure I better find out before I put it back together, in case I need to replace it.
Also, I found a piece of my chain ramp near the sump as well. Its part of the clip that holds the ramp to the steel pin as the ramp snaps in place. I have the chain covers sealed up and the hydraulic chain tensioners in place and I didn't really want to open it back up to replace the ramps. If a ramp is missing this clip, is it an issue? I was hoping the chain cover (outer ramps) and bolts (inner ramps) hold the ramps without the use of the clip. I appreciate any help on these issues.
