found this in oil pan please help (PICS)

Photos here. Looks like parts of a crush washer to me. Was it IN the pan or did it fall into the drain pan during an oil change?

Check your turbo. My son's engine had the same type of brass colored pieces in his oil pan when I tore it down. I showed it to two people at the machine shop and they said it was not from the engine but didn't know what it was. I did some checking and determined it was a brass bearing from inside a turbo. The Big16 turbo on his car was fine so it probably was from the stock turbo that blew sometime before he bought it.


Turbo Rebuild

Scroll about halfway down and look for the picture of the brass thrust bearing. I believe that is the part that broke apart and some pieces of it made its way into your oil pan.

Looks like a thrust bearing out of the turbo.

I found the same thing in my oil pan when I ropped it two months ago. The previous owner told me that he had the stock turbo die. It is the thust bearing from a turbo.
