Heres a picture i took during the swap i dont know if its helpful

 

A picture of the filter would be more useful.

 

Here is a pic of my filter for comparison. Pretty easy to see if you have a problem. As you can see, mine had a bunch of silver and gold specs.

 

Ill put up some more of what I got done too since im uploading pictures

So the black drain pan is what the oil was originally drained into, th specs arent actually that silver its just from the flash but that pan was clean so that was in the motor, whether or no its metal i dont know. Just like the specs in the pan with the filter i dont know if thats metal or carbon maybe? Its not silver, but when I drained the oil I definetly saw silver specs in the oil coming out of the pan, you cant see them in the oil they all settled on the bottom. The drain plug didnt have any coarse peices of metal on it but it had alot of what seems like metal paste i guess?

 

That looks more like dirt or sealant or something. Fold up the filter and crush it in a vice to get all of the oil out, that will make particles much easier to see.

 

Ok Ill do that when I head back out there after I get my hw done, yeah it doesnt look like metal. But when I drained the oil I could see what I thought was metal in the oil coming out with it, it literally looked like silver metallic paint was coming out with the oil, not alot but thats like the best was to describe it.

Actully I think I might know where all that black **** came from, I had the heads done, new seals, resurfaced, and a valve job. The machine shop that did it cleans the heads with some stuff that turns the aluminum black and it must wear off.

That still doesnt explain the really fine metal in the oil... Could the new cam like wearing in cause this? Or something in the turbo could do this?

 

How well did you clean the cam before you put it in? If its hollow, did you clean out the inside first?

 

I tried to clean it best I could with brake clean and rags, now that I think back if it is hollow which I assume it is I dont remember cleaning the hollow part... fack

 

Comp cams are not I think, but isky cams are.
