I am in the process of changing my oil and adjusting the valves and when I pulled out the strainer I found little pieces of metal shavings. I never saw these the first time I changed the oil after cam break in. Motor has about 500 miles on it.

I got no pics. My camera sucks at taking pictures of really small things.

That's why you never see any neked pics of me in the sand box. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

No they are not chunks. Really thin, fine pieces. I hope it's just part of the breaking in process as things mate internally. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I'll probably just button it back up and re-check it after a hundred miles or so.

How does your filter look? Tear it apart and see what you find.

Check your valves again. See if they're loose.

Report back on your findings. Nothing to panic about, yet. Break-in always has some sort of nastyness in it.

not unusual - motor on.... Worry time is: bad sounds, low oil pressure, white exhaust smoke, low compression

Good question - even though when they are matched - you can still have them go flat.

That's why I'll never build another Hi-Po Type 4 again. If it's not stock, it'll be a 6-er...

My 2270 has been a bundle of fun to drive, but a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) to maintain.

1.) cut the filter (if you still have it) as described and check it for metal.

2.) button the sucker up and run it for a couple of hundred miles...check to see if the valves are seriously out of spec, check the strainer again and cut the filter again.

3.) Take all your clothes off, dance around the car while sucking on any good German Ale, sprinkling rust on the body to the sounds of "I Can't Drive 55" and send the video to A-aron Admin. DO NOT POST THE VIDEO.

Everything will be fine.................

Never sprinkle rust on a 914. Rust is Tinworm shit, and they live in it. If you sprinkle rust on a 914, you are infecting it with Tinworms. Left untreated, Tinworms will eat a 914!!!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Rust should not be sprinkled on, it should be forced injected into hard to reach places, then squirted with lots of salt water 5 times a day for 5 days, for it to really seat in.
