Foreign body in my oil

[adam quantrill]

Before you get too excited no I didn't find Christina Aguelera with baby oil all over her...




I was wondering where this ended up, or , rather, how long it would take to come out. It came out of the sump with my oil change! A free bottle of trumpet glue at BBWF to the first person to guess what it is?

It's the spacer off a rubber rocker cover gasket by the looks of it.

Looks like it

I hope it's not the same bottle of glue that this was glued on with

Tony. TCB.

Well done Bobby - yeah it fell out 2 years ago then went down the hole in the cylinder head towards the sump. No harm done though.

Why do you think he is trying to get rid of it...I now know what this clear Gum gum is for, Its baffled me for ages...I remember buying some at BBWF.....2012 maybe...

The trumpet glue is good stuff - I got a job lot on the flea and tried it, it has stuck mine well, so I'm just sharing the love.

I don't think it would work too well on rubber though I will probably use blue hylowotsit to glue that back on, after roughing up the outer edges a bit.

Its funny as i have had that little bottle of gum gum for ages and never remembered why i had it...Now i know...May have a test of it on some other materials and if its good for that then ill have another few off of you...

You are NOT serious...Are you........Mind you you could be up for a new award at the fest at this rate...

Maybe not - why bother, the thing seals anyway without it.
