Sorry about the size. I took them with my phone. I’m an old man, so I’m new to this forum thing. I don’t know how to resize them.
First picture is the lower oil pan. Second and third is what I’m more familiar with being main bearing caps. Case halves in aviation. Last picture is the #3 rod end.
I think maybe a main bearing spun or a thrust bearing if he’s have them?
I’ll disassemble everything out of sheer curiosity.
I’ve never torn down or built a boxer, but I have plenty of experience building DSM, sbc, bbc, and turbines. Famous last words….how bad can it be?
*also in first picture the swarf on my ring finger could reasonably be a bearing. It’s shiny-ish and thin. The piece on my middle finger is mostly smooth, dark, and thick. It’s also ferrous.*
