So I finally got some time to work on the X on Sunday. I bought a camera and looked down the oil fill hole in passenger valve cover( I can't look in driver side at all). The chain appears tight and was able to see one cam lobe and there didn't appear to be any excessive wear on it. I drained oil, removed lower oil pan and oil filter and didn't see any metal shavings or signs of rod bearing failure. However, one cannot see the crank or rods. I guess I will have to remove the upper oil pan to be sure of rod bearing condition.I did however find some broken parts in the lower pan. They appear to be pieces of a timing chain guides and a steel part that is maybe part of valve intermediate. please see pics and hopefully someone can tell what these pieces are.
