Metal Shavings

[qwikz28]

I take it my motor is on its last leg. Car overheated and dumped coolant into the motor last year. I knew the bearings took a hit but i wasn't expecting it to be that bad. How long before it poops out on me?


PS- That oil has ~1k miles on it

I'd say not long at all 2-3k if that

all depends you can try and change the oil sooner it may save it alittle longer but either way its not gonna last

guy on ls1tech told me that if the clump smears, its mostly dirt and just some shavings either from the valvetrain or wear, and it did smear. It seems that my car is pretty gunky (is that a word?) on the inside so i'm gonna start her up this weekend and seafoam her. if it blows up, at least i can go all out with a new motor

yeah man, if you find a piston in there id worry, but if you just did a cam and heads you will get a little debriss like that, i still get some shavings on my magnet on a stock LS1 with 35,000 miles on it

Thats why god invented camaros, im sure its just valve train wear. Im not even sure of main berings are magnetic, isnt there a lot of copper in trimetal? what do i know, im just an engineer anyway.
