Mad Professor 7 Posted June 16, 2007 Hi All. I have been working on a mates engine striping it all down ready for a full rebuild. As I was striping down the oil pump pickup to clean out the normal black death & wire mesh from the oil breather cap, I found a half inch nail. Can someone please work out how the hell that found it's way inside the engine. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
