The first oil change will have a metallic goo on the sump Darin plate due to

Also the rings break in to the cylinder walls and the cam beds into the

Kirin,
Yes, near as I can tell, metal flecks in the oil?
Looks like the piston/cylinder seal was breached and metal particles were
in the oil in the sump.
If you haven't thrown away the filter, open it up and see what it caught.
Bigger chunks in the filter screen? Take a look at your gears

gauge and a pump that was putting out 10 PSI)

The damage doesn’t look too bad overall. Something got into both cylinders?
Can you tell what it was? Very black soot, running rich as a bitch.

Kirin,
When you say the oil looked terrible, what do you mean?...just from
sitting?...condensation?
If the ring lands of cylinder #3 look good and the cross hatching is still
there with no flaws, you should not have any metal parts from the head
or piston in your oil.
I don't think I
That’s where it sticks and collects. The sump plate and in the passages.

If you find lots of metal inside your case, you’ll need to remove the oil
galley plugs to get a proper thorough cleaning. There are some dead ends that
can collect metal particles that could later loosen under heat and pressure and
go directly into the bearings. BTDT. Not worth having to
Hey all,
Finally I'm digging into fixing my "New" but wounded 1914. It's mostly torn
apart but its time to start cleaning it. Its been full flowed, was a new

object damage and bashed up cylinder 3 and its cylinder head.
