Hi all need some help. Drained the gt engine oil tonight and found the lump of metal in the photo. It is bearing material as far as I can tell and looks to be the same circumference as the end of the camshaft, oil pump end. Any ideas other than mine. Many thanks Adam. |

Don't they all have std on them? Cambearings that is. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

to be honest ive had the mini for over a year sitting in my workshop, replaced the floors and other panels, then left it. sold it to my brother recently and he is getting it ready for the road. he was changing the oil and filter to find that. hasnt been run or driven in my ownership. feel bad for him though. |

Oversize in terms of the actual hole they go into, not camshaft journal size. Either way, it would be advisable to take that engine apart immediately lol 9.85 @ 145mph

Ok so the first picture is the writing on the end of the cam. The second is the clubman getting ready for a whole new front end i.e inner wings, outer wings, "A" panels, front panels. Lots of work to be done!! |
