So, if you ever blow out your rear cam plug and let it bounce around in the bell housing for a while, it looks like this:

Most of the oil came out at Dallas Raceway, the drive home I kept the rpms around 2k and it still had enough oil when I reached Plano.

Holy crap! I'm glad it made it back with no issues. Everything going back together with no other issues?

We increased crank case ventilation, replaced the front crank seal, fixed oil pan leak and replaced the procharger transfer gear as it was worn. Also replaced a warn serpentine belt. We were almost done at replacing the rear cam plug, but looks like the O rings are starting to leak on the injectors. Also tweaked the pinion angle at diff as it seems there was a little drive shaft scraping the gas tank action that needed to be corrected and as long as the transmission was off, that was a good time.

Basically, once I had them lift it off the ground it was checked from end-to-end.
