Hey gang,
The last few times I've changed the oil & filter, I didn't drop the screen
because I have a spin on oil filter installed and figured it stopped anything
running around in the engine. But, tonight I had the time so I went ahead and
pulled the cover and screen. Sparky has a 1 1/2 qt. pan added. When I pulled
the screen I found a bunch of what looks like dirt just inside the lip of the
pan (nothing at all in the screen itself). I went ahead and pulled the 1 1/2
qt pan and cleaned everything out. I got about two tablespoons of "dirt" from
inside the pan. I checked it with magnetic and it's not steel and I held it up
to a bright light and I don't seen anything shiny in it.
Any ideas? Is my engine slowing grinding itself up? Is it dirt?
I kept some in a plastic bowl and will bring it Sunday. If you are there Mark,
I would like for you to check it out.
I have very good oil pressure +50 psi when driving and a little more than 10
psi at idle.
Should I begin counting my piggy bank?
