Thanks, Chris.

The clean up has been an enormous task. The whole oil cooling and circulation system had to come out to be flushed, swabbed and ultrasonically cleaned.

In the process, I explored areas I've never seen - here's the inside of the air box.

Note the metal flakes still present after flushing with carb cleaner and flooding twice with solvent. I had to open it up to really clean it.

The good news is I found my air leak.

That's the o-ring that seals the throttle body to the air box protruding.
