Crazy metal in the pan!!!
Hey guys. I am linking you to my thread over at hotrodders.com because I am hoping to get more exposure = more ideas.
Feel free to read the entire post, but the last page that I am linking to says it all.
THanks in advance!!

look to the bottom of the page to my latest post (with the pictures), can any of you identify that "whirley" metal peice?

Without knowing everything about the engine, I didn't read the entire thread, I'd say it looks like what's left of a floating piston lock/snap ring.
