Good to know about stuff not getting sucked into the pump.

However, my fear with dropping a ship up front was that it might be sucked into the vanos chain. Say you hit a big pothole and shim pops up off the pan and into the chain. I have to think that could cause a catastrophic failure.

Of course, most of the time the shim would just bounce off and fall back down. My luck is that it would get caught in the chain though.
