Glitter after rebuild
I've finished my 1000 mile break-in and found an alarming amount of glitter in the oil. Is this normal?
Engine has new Mahle P&C, new timing chains, new rocker shafts, new valve guides. Fuzz on drainplugs was what I'd expect - about double the typical 5000 mile amount I used to get before the rebuilds started.
I've been having issues with rapid valve guide wear for unknown reasons, I'm concerned that the glitter is an indication of the valve guides going bye-bye yet again.
