| NOTE |
| A friend bought a 240, running and driving, per PO "For a year or so the oil-pressure light would flicker at hot idle and there was little splashing if you opened the oil-filler with the engine running". We notice a slight rattle at hot idle.
The mass was small bits of vegetable matter eg. straw/grass.
I'm not sure how this much dirt would get into an engine. Perhaps it sat without an oil-filler cap or valve cover.
