This isn't good....

Since it is f'n freezing here, and many of us are stuck inside, I am posting this just to stimulate some conversation. Not trying to start a debate or argument. This is the beginning of latest project-https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e53-forum/112683-fence-02-4-6-a.html
So, for 2 weeks I have been dabbling with fixes. I knew it did a slight rattle at start up, so expected guides at some point. With todays work-it will be sooner than later! There are some big chunks in here that concern me. And, is that little "U" shaped tube a piston squirter?
This motor is in worse shape than I thought. Kids, always drop that lower oil pan and you will get a quick idea of what your internals look like.....Here we go! $$$$$$$$ Gotta love these V8's
