large metal pieces in oil pan?

Whizbang · 07-02-2013, 12:44 PM

engine is a 13b S4 that was transfer to a GSLSE. The guy who originally did the swap did it as terrible as you can imagine. So i am hoping the this metal was from the old engine and they didn't clean the pan.

but seriously... how do large pieces of metal get into the oil pan? they are like bent up and broken metal strips, maybe 1mm or 2 wide, and maybe 4mm long and about a dozen of these balled up pieces of metal. I couldn't think of anything that would fail and reach the pan like that.

the s4 engine does turn just fine, apex seals looked good via flashlight.

wtf bbq?
