Pieces of steel oil pump vanes.
We usually see 3 or 4 explode every winter.

Does it happen because of cold weather? I don't know much about cars so my bad if it's a stupid question

It wasn't super cold when this one failed, single digits, but winter is the only time I see them explode, so yes, temperature has got to be playing a part.

Not a dumb question at all. I was wondering the same thing.....and I spent two years of my life in school to be a mechanic.

I've been surprised at just how many things in this modern day and age are not heat treated properly after hardening the metal. Amazes me that something so simple can get lost in the manufacturing process and not just the automotive industry either.
Oh well, job security for you I guess.

Good afternoon guy's
It was a nice day to call off work.
I'm finally able to use access a couple hundred sick hour's
I accumulated in the past 25 years.
Cutting storm damage for the old fella
He worries about getting his tractor to his fields
For hay season
I'm setting some blocks out in the woods
For turkey season
Nice seat's nobody will mess with them.

Pump apart.
Fractured the ring top and bottom, only ate 4 vanes. Usually they are all gone.

I don't know if you have any career plans
But HV/AC and plumbing
In your state
You'd be set for life.
My contractor friends have been contacted texans
Wanting skilled apprentice's if they can't get certified guy's now.
