Thanks gggGary! Regardless im using the case, I am just looking for the cause of this filing filled oil filters... I have not found anything yet that is the definite cause, so I am trying to X everything out that is out of the norm. Thanks again for the help!!I'll look in some empty cases manyana.
Thanks for the reply! yes the picture of the Idler shaft was just to help with the location of where the hole in the case is. the hole is behind the gear. the top one in the picture just seems out of place.That's an idler shaft for one of the starter gears. There's nothing behind it to shed metal.
