Thankfully the parts floating around your engine are plastic, so I'd consider dropping the oil pan as well and taking any remaining chunks out of there...hopefully they've just settled there and aren't interfering w/ the oil pickup.

Hi m5james,
You were right - there were plastic bits and pieces scattered on the bottom of the oil pan
:
Some of them got wedged in the strainer of the oil suction pipe. I took time to clean them all out but the strainer screen still kind of tilted (from the bottom plate) in the housing
Is it how it suppose to be or it must be flat against the bottom plate?
I also found a small O-ring and so far cold figure out where it came from. Any ideas?
What a pain to remove this bolt (collar screw) from the hub. My impact does not fit without removing the AC radiator. I have broken 1/2 driver already and really afraid of damaging the bolt head.
Do you have any tricks to get it out?
Thank you. I appreciate your help James.
