Yes I don't know but it looks like a chewed up fan of some sortbut I'm not sure if thats inside the engine or under the vehicle, looking to see what the experts thing, but yes that fan thingy looks pretty bad

I'm not sure if its because its my first time, but it seems like my android scope is now stuck in the engine. It seems turning the motor while the scope is inside is not a good idea, and when I tried to turn the opposite way it seemed to go in deeper. So now something for sure is in the engine...
I'm actually thinking of removing the oil pan, I think its the only way to really be able to see under the engine. I saw in a video after you take out the bolts you can just twist it and pull it out, you think that's an ok way to do it?

I got this:
DBPOWER 8.5MM 2M 2MP Cellphone Endoscope for Android System with OTG and UVC Function & Compatible with laptop (USB adapter included)
And no it doesn't have a mirror attachment :favorites68: You guys gotta remember I'm a noob, I don't know these things :help:
Well I am waiting for the endoscope still, but I would appreciate if gave me some advice as to how to check for a dropped valve, I have not considered that possibility yet to be honest.

Update:
Below are the photos of the driver side camshaft/engine valves. I don't know much about cars, but for 157,000 miles everything looks brand new to me, and to be honest the timing chain as well looks immaculate. at least the part I can see connected to the camshaft. I notices some slight...
In mine there is space between the fan and the crankshaft. The problem would be getting enough torque to get the bolt off. I talked to a guy at Autozone and he told me if the engine is partially seized just turn it to the seized point and use the resistance of the engine to generate enough...
Thanks for the advice I just got back from over there, going to check the pistons first and if they are all in good shape it's timing cover time. It looks like I will have to take apart the entire front assembly in order to get to the timing covers if that's the case :uhoh2:
Did you have to remove the front bumper in order to use the puller? I'm confused, just to be sure, are the cam covers the same thing as the valve covers? I'm assuming I would have to remove the front bumper in order to check the front crank seal?
Hey guys just wanted to update and ask more questions. I got under the car again and tried to look at both sides of the oil pan. I took a shot of the oil pan right under the crankshaft below. I didn't see any holes or any leaks on either side of the pan. The oil leak source has to be right on...
