3ldohctough.jpg Oil pan & contents from a 3.0L DOHC Sable

Note the wear on the broken piston chunks - the engine KEPT RUNNING for a loooooooong time with all that crap (& 2 valves) in the pan. ;-)  The guy drove this car to the shop where I worked for diagnosis.  After we gave him a quote on swapping the engine, he drove the car away.  About 2 weeks later, he returned still driving to get the engine replaced.
