to me it looks like something that you could put a tip into to make an impression onto something ( seen them in arts and crafts stores ) you put the tip it in, then hit the back with a hammer and it makes a impression so that a drill bit or something of the sorts wont slide around when trying to go trough, did you have your pan taped or anything for a gauge or a oil return line? looks a bit too big to get around in any of the passages so if you have taken your pan off ( or had a shop do it ) for any reason i would call the shop and ask if they are missing something lol


P.S. and offtopic but 1st post woo woo

Valve guide?

That only has a hole on one side? Poor valve, has to bore its own way through steel in order to work...

Reminds me of an oil pressure check piston from a Porsche 911. Looks lubrication-system-related.

its not the timing chain tensioner as those are not cylindrical.

what kind of engine? KA, SR, RB, CA? some basic info could help figure this problem out

did you have the car worked on recently or did you do some work on the car yourself? this could possibly be a tool accidentally left by a mechanic.

give us some more details about the engine, then we can go from there.

delphi uses a simialr design in the new motors for their valve train, they are like tiny pushrods. but it looks EXACTLY the same as that thing there event though the kade doesnt have those heh.
