Another Clue |

Changed the oil today. It was clean. No debris. I even filtered some through a coffee filter (very slow). Nothing there. Then I cut the oil filter apart. Not great. There is a slight smattering of copper particles on the pleated filter. Not very much, but it's there. Now trying to be optomistic, I do have a manual transmission car and there is always extra wear on the sides of the middle main bearing which takes a lot of pressure when the clutch is depressed. Also, it is very difficult to align the bearing cap "perfectly" with the main saddle which may account from some intial wear at a "high" point. Anybody think this might be normal for a newly rebuilt engine with only 1 or 2 hours on it? (I don't think I'm going to like the answer on this one). Just trying to decide wether I should add the "expensive" synthetic and run it for a while to see what happens, or just bite the bullet and tear it down again. |
