metal shavings in oil filter

[bronc3buster842001]

what should I be checking. The rod seems tight. The other 2 motors I have seem about the same.

When I pulled the flywheel the starter clutch bolts were loose. So that could have been some of it.

The old clutch was slipping so I put the new one in it along with the extra steel.

Just trying to avoid spilting the case.

Any tips on how to measure the crank and rod play.

How much of the shavings where on the filter

This is the worse of it.

ok well the black is clutch fiber and a little shavings is normal and have you checked your strainer yet ?

The strainer was pretty dirty before I ever ran the motor. I cleaned it and its still clean.

well the strainer is supposed to pick up most metal filings so maybe you had a bolt rubbing

I forgot about the piston being messed up and scraping the cylinder. I bet thats where most of it come from.

The rod clearances all check out good. I think i dodged a bullet. I have 2 spare motors if need be. LOL

yeah I would bet that too
