Bit alarmed after just doing the 1st
oil change on my new Cleveland stroker combo @ 378 cubes..
Just dropped the
oil out after its first 400k’s and found quite an amount of metal fragments in the
oil filter after I cut it open. Some as big as 1/2 match head in size and some dust sized fragments. All of it silver - bearings or cam I wonder??
Probably enough to cover a 20c piece - about the size of a quarter in US terms. And that’s just the bits I found...!
Any of you guys got any idea what constitutes 'normal' for a new motor's 1st oil change? Wasn’t expecting to see anything but maybe it’s one of those things that's not an issue.
Been 10 years since I installed a new motor so don't remember this happening last time. Off to see the engine builder tomorrow..
