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 in the oil pump for sure.

Cheers, dave

      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
