Took 'em off.
The valve cover is off now. There's a bit of sludge, but there are little bits and pieces of plastic from the cam tensioner all over the fvcking place. As deep down inside of it as I can see, I can see little bits of plastic.
However, the engine fires right up and you can drive it for 20 minutes before it hits limp mode. Maybe 5 miles before the oil light comes on.
The thought is there could be bits of pieces all through the engine, so it's not worth trying to fix.

;) I know you did.....
That's too bad Mica, a bummer to have to deal with that issue too. Well, you'll have a good runner and a solid platform when it's done anyway I suppose.
Good luck!

Ouch (to both things) Why not rebuild the one you have?
Plastic, while it can damage things by blocking oil flow etc, will most likely not have done any *real* damage.
A "light" rebuild and cleaning out of the block would be a quick and simple job all things considered.
