    I seriously doubt there's anything you need to do about it....may end up in your oil filter....

      Approx how big a piece was it?

      I would think the oil pump pick up screen would catch it and keep it there. It'd be too big to make it past there to the oil filter.

      Depending on its size, it may come out the oil drain hole. You can try using the same oil, fill and drain and it may come out, again, unless its bigger than the drain bolt..

        I would very much worry about it clogging up some oil passage
        A large bumble Bee fly into my F60 last year - took it apart and found it lodged in a passage that would have caused trouble in the future
        Suggest you take your engine apart and pull the piece out before it costs big money to repair

          I remember your "bee" intrusion. Do you remember what passage it got stuck in?

            I would worry about it not making its way to the oil pan. The oil fill is into the valve cover. I would pull the cylinder head cover and get it out.

                Bee in the oil - picture

                As the others stated taking the valve cover off is a fairly easy task, it was on my small F60 not sure about your engine. Again I personally would NOT operate it until the foil was completely out of there.


                Always something to get repaired
                That's the bee in the lower right corner

                  Thanks for all the input, I have not run the engine since that happend,
                  makes me wonder how many time this happends to other without
                  Noticing ,
                  This is a new engine so im really reluctant to ignore it.
                  .
                  Does anyone know the proper torque for the valve cover bolts
                  ?

                    If its an M6 size, (my F150 valve cover is an M6) it's likely 5.9 ft lbs(likely the same, 10mm socket).

                    They sometimes have it cast in the cover itself as well as the tightening order cast.

                      For F90 cylinder head cover:

                      8 N-m; 0.8kgf-m; 5.9 ft-lb
