So, what's an appropriate amount of metal flecks in your oil filter after < 1000 miles on rebuild?
Are these coming from the DUI stock gear on the new comp cam... I wonder... because I didn't really measure where the dizzy gear was running in relation to the cam gear. might do that.
I ran my oil over a super strong magnet when draining - they weren't steel.
They measure about 1/16th inch and less...
I disassembled the oil filter, there were some in there, not a whole lot, but some...
This was the 2nd oil change. Rebuilt engine. Oil had soaked up some soot from trying to get things tuned and timed. It was black, kinda smelled like gas.
Took a drive after fresh oil yesterday. Will go read the plugs in a bit, sniff the oil.
