This was Travis' pick up tube.. This is the reason why a sump inspection is so important when installing the IMS Guardian.

About twice this much more sealant was laying in the sump plate and if it would have been drawn into the oil pick up tube the engine would have had the oil supply diminished far enough to lead to oil starvation.
