Metal shavings in engine
I have some friends who have told me that an ex enemy is planning or at least hopes to sabatoge my car by putting metal shavings in the engine. All of this is just rumor so I can not do much as far as preventive legal action. I am keeping my car locked at all times to prevent this from happening. I have a few questions just in case this guy suceeds in his plan. What would metal shaving do if inserted into my engine block? How long would it take me to see the results or possible damage caused? How could I prove that the metal shavings are foreign and not from my engine parts? WOuld a mechanic be able to tell that the engine had been sabatoged?
I ask these questions so that I am prepared if this truly happens. I would not want a dead engine and no recourse against the perp. Can anyone answer some or all of these questions?
P.S. I have also been told he may loosen the oil plug if he cannot get to the engine. IF he would do that would it fall out? And if so what damaged could be done? And how could I prove it was sabatoge?
