Exactly! I'm going to give her hell all the way to Rudys and back! (Hopefully) lol

"3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead"

i have seen metal like that on the first OCI after an engine build.

my worry is that is a lifter beginning to fail and unfortunately, if it does, it usually wipes out the cam and all the bearings because of the amount of metal going thru the motor.

it may have been said but a short next OCI and a oil analysis wouldnt be a bad idea...

I use Blackstone to check my oil every change.

I'm going to send it to them. I already ordered their sample kit. And in about a 1k miles I'm going to have it tested again. Unless I trade it for something else! Lol

Changed my GP relay and washed it. Now I'm going to sell my rims and tires and get a set of moto 951 to go with some new bfg km2's.

Flushed my trans, installed a transgo 2-3 shift valve, installed a JWVB, new trans filter, installed a 4 pillar pod (egt, trans, boost, and fuel pressure). And started to replace the feed line from the pump to the fuel bowl. Those quick connects are a PITA.

I wonder if you painted and cleared them then waited a few days and wrapped them in clear 3M vinyl if they would last a long time.

Idk, I didn't really prep them that good... just cleaned them and used adhesion promoter and the color match rattle cans from oreilly's... they did fine until I started doing more driving. The big ole grasshoppers were pretty hard on the paint. Going to get them done by a body shop this time so they can do better...

Also they will be smooth instead of textured so well look lots better!
