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.

You running a German oil filter? better not be an orange FRAM, frams are so junky, they will dump crap into your engine. I have had two FRAMs fall apart in use. Make sure you have a Mahle, or Mann oil filter, check you oil again soon, see if there is less metal next time (yippie!!!) also have an oil pressure gage, it is very important, and can tell you is bearings or pump is failing.'


good luck, maybe just break in crap i hope.
