Just bumping an old thread. Any of you guys who found metal shavings in yours nearly a year ago have any issues now? I ask because I just put my on recently and after about 300 miles I checked it and in the teaspoon of oil was a bunch of metal shavings, like the glitter a few of you mentioned before. I'm at 8k as of yesterday and I haven't burned any oil. Any concerns or just normal?

This is 2 days after I installed it and less than 50 miles. I have a total of 900 miles on her since I bought her 8 months ago. Passenger side jlt separator from American muscle.com. Im a believer!
I have had mine installed since about 9,000 miles. now at 12,000...I have collected maybe 10ml of oil tops. Barely anything.
Amazing how much variation there is in these mass produced motors!
