The magical ball

[B-TownSX]

I was changing the oil in my car and when I took out the old oil filter and was pooring the contents out something amazing happened. A gold ball baring came out with the oil! WTF is a ball baring doing inside my engine and y did it fall out!?!

Layoff it man, the 240s got the bling in it's filter fo sheezy. It makes the honeys go crazy. Swervin' down the biway, dual tips screamin' the right way.

Word to yo' motha'.

I was disassembling my SR to take back to the states and I found about 6 or 8 silver balls, they looked like B.B.'s, in the oil pan. I coujld never find out where these came from. Anyone have a clue?

[InsanityInc]

Sounds like part of a ball bearing, but I have no idea where (and if) there are any ball bearings in the engine.

ball bearing turbo lose balls and drop em into the return line??

[B-TownSX]

I'm turboless....

[tiger]

you know what... you may be right.. for some reason i thought the bearings were bigger than bb size but who knows, I can look it up. I wouldn't be surprised if it did come from them, i'm sure it would go through the oil lines.

Not If it came through the filter. The BB would sit in the oil pan. The pick up would not let it circulate through the motor, If it came from the turbo. Must have come from elsewhere.
