I'm in the process of changing out k members and while it was out, I'd figure I change my oil pan to the Canton road race pan. Well, I get the old one off and find this. Its not magnetic and has the same texture on the sphere as the spark plug hole cover nuts. But all of those nuts are accounted for. Anyone have any ideas?
What is this in my oil pan?
- Thread starter Goindeafonmtx
- Start date
Kind of looks like the top of the nuts that secure the plug covers to the cammed covers.
Kinda looks like the head of a broken rivet.
Inside the valve cover I believe the splash shield that deflects oil mist away from the PVC valve might be attached with similar looking fasteners.

You may be onto something. I had the valve covers powdercoated and I took those splash shields off to clean the sand out of them. However, they are bolted on. Unless you are talking about something else.:??:
Here is a high res picture of the stock screws that hold the baffle to the inside of the valve cover: http://www.classictiger.com/mustang/TeksidTerminator/ValveCoverMod/P7290004.JPG

Sure looks like a one cent piece to me.
My guess is a rivet since it is non magnetic.
ahh its a hoodiemack, Ive seen this before..dont worry your good....
Yep looks like a penny to me
Looks like a peice of a bolt boss, someone probably put to long of a bolt in one of the heads somewhere and it bottomed out and pushed the bottom of the boss off. Judging by the size either was a M5 or M6 bolt
I think thats a winner.....
