    Should I be worried?

    Found this in the old oil after draining the sump for a change today. Been running fine. Not sure what it is?

    Looks like a tiny spirally spring with a taper at one end. Approx 1 mm diameter.

    Looks like it's off a valve stem seal. Can't do any real damage, perhaps one cylinder is getting a little more oil.
