But other than this little find, nothing is wrong
with the engine?
Hehehe, I don't strip any engine down unless I
can see a rod from the driver's seat!
...in all seriousness, lots of crap finds it's
way in there. I'd suspect if you did a stripdown
"just to see" you stand a very good chance of
not seeing anything.
Or even worse, stripping the engine down and
saying "while I'm in here" and talking yourself into
a rebuild when the original engine ran fine.
