Hi all help appreciated.
Today i removed my valve covers to replace leaking gaskets.
when i removed my Driver's side valve cover i found a piece of what looks like a clip that was wedged inside the rear oil gallery on my 351 cleveland.
Can somebody tell me what its from?
my engine was rebuilt a few years ago and this was not there the last time i opened up the valve covers.
i can not find anything that looks out of place in my lifters or rockers. the clip has very little damage to it. it appears to have cracked off from where ever its home was and then Wedged inside the oil gallery to the rear of the engine.
I have no idea when this piece fell off or what it goes to. engine was running well all last week, vacuum was good.
the broken part also appears to have part of a Fomoco Logo right where it snapped.
please help.
Wanted to add i just tested the piece and it is magnetic.
well i figured out what its from:
teflon valve stem seal.
dame it
