So I was taking out my oil pan tonight to do my rear main seal, and as I took it out I found this little gem in there. (Out of a 97 4.0)
So, I am assuming that it wasnt born in there, and probably didnt find its way down there all the way from the top. I think I may have heard something by now. There are no metal shavings in the pan, its clean as a whistle. My engine has not been making any odd noises lately, and has been running smooth. So, I am confused.....
This nut is the same style as the set of 6 pairs that you see when you look at the bottom of the engine once the pan is off. I was hoping it was one of those, but no luck. It has three little sets of marks on the top of it.
SO, does anyone have any ideas of where to put this? I am just curious if anyone has thoughts on where to look.
Thanks for the help.....
