    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bits in sump pan.

I'm going to speculate a little here. Looks to me like a cam chain broke and took out a chunk of the value cover. Since this would have occured just above the opening for the cam chain, the metal bits would have headed south to the oil pan. I'm going out on a limb saying the small roller is from the cam chain. The gasket piece fell in when the PO replaced the valve cover.

Anyway, guessing aside, if the bike runs and starts ok just ride it. If something is amiss, you'll hear it soon enough.
 
Hi Flyingace. You may be right but I didn't find any gasket material in the sump and the round "roll" pin is definately NOT a cam chain roller;)
 
OK - that first item on the left looks a lot like gasket material to me. I guess this shows the disadvantage of two dimensions VS. three. But if that isn't a cam chain roller, my theory flys out the window.
 
Just to clarify,
Part 1-Aluminium tooth or part of.
Part 2-Springsteel roll pin or part of.
Part 3-Piece of aluminium engine casing.

Also see post No.2 for another view of the bits.
