my f4i is tacking hard and i dropped the oil pan and found a bunch of chrome and copper colored shavings in it...i figured the oil pick up was clogged now i see it is but i dont know if cleaning the shavings out and puttin it back together is gonna help..
im tryin to get a new motor but im askin yall what u think or know about this

 

if its running then throw it back together but i think the tapping is prolly your cam chain tensioner

 

my buddy was sayin i could of spun the bearing..im gonna check for play tonite. i dont know which is more a pain in the butt a tensioner or bearing haha...**** it..

 

Ooooohh. Chrome and copper shavings equals get a new motor. Sorry, man.

 

yup its time...

 

motor's toast. the shavings are bearing which i guarantee took the crank out too

 

how do you do the cam tensioner?
