i was changing my oil after a 400mile road trip and i found 2 peices of metal and metal dust on my magnetic drain plug . the best thing i can compare them to is a finger nail clipping. i would think they are bolt threads? anyone have any input?

If they're what I think they are, they're the valve seal clips. I had this same problem right after I built my stroker. See, no one told me that when upgrading the valve springs on the AFRs, you must use a different valve seal so that it will clear a bigger dual valve spring. Get a picture and I'll compare. In fact, I think I stll have mine saved in a mini envelope.

i agree ^^^^ thats what it sounds like.

But we need pics to be sure

they are shorter than even a pinky finger nail clipping about half the length.
so if thats what they are now what does that mean for me?

i cant find the one piece that i saved they were small and thicker than a finger nail though, defiantly curved enough and shaped right to be a ripped off bolt thread.

Well if they came off of a bolt then they would not be flat. Are the flat or do they have a rise to them?

86GT 93LX

they are not flat. i just meant they had the general shape of that curve. if they are not threads i dont know what else they could be

Well, I couldn't find the little box I had mine, in. I must have decided to finally throw them out after 2 years, otherwise I would've posted a pic....

We need to see them OP.
