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 would be worried about the oil cooler or passage ways
since you have an oil filter, right?
I just can't think of any way that you would have metal bits in your oil
unless the piston had an actual hole in it...
Did I miss something?
Cheers, dave

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
case with new everything with under 1000 miles on it when it had foreign object
damage and bashed up cylinder 3 and its cylinder head.
Thus far from what I can see the bearings look good. The oil that came out of
it after the damage looked terrible. All the pistons and cylinders still had
their cross hatching on it. Cylinder 3 has some where at the top of it but all
the ring lands are intact but they piston top is obviously bashed up. Right
now my plan of attack is clean the snot out of the block. Most likely I think I
should replace my oil cooler. Will flush out all the oil passage ways. I'm
thinking its wise to check for clearances on the bearings even though they look
good. I'm debating picking up a new set of lifters since there is some
pitting.
Probably time for a big photo dump so you can see the damage....
Happy Friday and I'm sure there will be more questions coming form me in the
near future.
