Re: Debris In Engine...need help!

Depending on what fell through, I wouldn't worry about it. If its big flakes of gasket, I'd pull the pan, but if its just some little chunks of carbon I'd let it go. The first thing that happens is it gets picked up by the screen, gets sent to the pump, then the filter. If its a big piece of gasket, it could restrict flow. Anything else will get trapped by the filter.

I would dump some fresh oil down over the lobes to rinse off the gunk so they don't scratch the cam.
