Without a more detailed description such as size and material I am only guessing here.
To hide / soak up oil leaks ???

You have a "fireman" smiley there, you in the job too ??

Hi
thanks for your reply, on my 30L there was a shaped block of dense foam rubber type between rear of sump and plate on bottom of bell housing I think the other was between starter and block, but had a lot on my mind when stripping down, so cant remember
in regard to the job yea, retired last year after 18 years finished as station commander with Devon Fire & Rescue.
now working with other services providing fire safety units, www.fatfires.com if you are interested. I presume you are in the job, what and where?
