this came out of oil pan drain plug hole in hummer h2, what is it?
the engine runs great, no noise, no metal shavings, 40lbs of oil pressure at idle between 40 and 50 as rpms go up....help

 

 

 

I really cant tell from any of those pictures what your holding. Is there anyway you could take some more pics that are in focus? Also, are you holding whatever it is with a magnet?

 

no im holding it in my fingers, its hollow tube with busted off end and an o ring, ill try to take more pics right now

 

 

im looking at all the diagrams of engine assembly, I don't see anything that looks like this except the end of the dipstick tube maybe, but theres a solid pc of metal inside of this pc im holding about 1/2 inch long from larger end in

 

ok im thinking its the end of the dipstick tube someone broke it off and then tried some sorta tool to get it out like a dril or easy out and snapped that off in tube..then decided to tap it into the oil pan and replace it....exaust manifolds are often replaced on these h2's, bet it was in the way and...sound and look possible ?

 

Damn...that's weird. It does look like some dipstick broke off a dipstick in your 6.0!

 

yes I came across another forum where they were discussing breaking off the dipstick tubes while replacing manifold bolt...for whatever reason the h2 is famous for broken manifold bolts (exaust) they had some good pics and im pretty confident that's what im looking at there...draining oil and seeing this come thru the drain hole freaked me out tho
