Found in sump - what is it?

Recommended Posts

Found this in my M40 sump - Does anyone recognize it?

It is made of reddish brown plastic and is reasonably stiff but will flex. Looks like some kind of clip about 15mm diameter.post-996-0-26569600-1407038097.jpg

Looks like the plastic clip that comes on new hydraulic lifters that seals the oil supply hole, obviously is supposed to be removed before fitting. Must have found its way in when the rocker cover was off at some stage then been flushed into the sump.

Thanks for the pointer - I did a quick search and reckon you are probably right on with this.
