Noisy cam adjusters won't cause metal flakes.As I read that bulletin the symptoms sound the same.

... I'D bet the farm on that LOL82K....but that's a hard 82K..hahahahah
I assume alu pistons.I noticed silicon seemed to be elevated too, correct? If so, that could be bearings if they are the bi-metal aluminum/silicon bearings. Otherwise, I'd be concerned that it could be piston material.
That kind of heat would have expanded a ring lifting a ringland before it would expand the piston enough to touch the wall.I assume alu pistons.
What if big tune and roasting the car really bad could expand pistons, strongly pushing against cylinders. Flaking them off.
Is that possible?
(anything beyond stock tune should heat up things significantly.)
Always. Lots of higher powered builds/tunes running basic 5W40s.Do you allow the engine to reach full operating temperature before getting on it? Maybe you need a slightly thicker oil?
True, but some might need a bit more viscosity than a basic 5W40, depending on how hard they're pushed.Always. Lots of higher powered builds/tunes running basic 5W40s.
How are you getting oil temp readings?? On board display, or are you going by water????Always. Lots of higher powered builds/tunes running basic 5W40s.
It's possible, but usually the risk is the rings butting which causes scoring and can even break the piston crown. I expect he'd have to be making a fair bit more than what he is for that to happen though.I assume alu pistons.

That's not likely here. This is hardly a "big tune" on this car/engine. This is "mild" hahaI assume alu pistons.

Not familiar with this one as a sourceI still have cash on hpfp roller/body.
Hpfp is mechanical. Driven by one of the camshafts. I believe your engine has a roller style hpfp cam follower. Seen major issues with hpfp if you run ethanol.Not familiar with this one as a source
Why would running a few gal of E have anything to do with this? I've logged it a bunch and 93 vs. E22-ish are identical w/r to HPFP output.Hpfp is mechanical. Driven by one of the camshafts. I believe your engine has a roller style hpfp cam follower. Seen major issues with hpfp if you run ethanol.
E eats aluminum like nobody's business. It's also has less lubrication than gasoline. I'm just burious of where the flakes came from and playing car doctor over phone.Why would running a few gal of E have anything to do with this?

Got it. It's not like I'm running E85.E eats aluminum like nobody's business. It's also has less lubrication than gasoline. I'm just burious of where the flakes came from and playing car doctor over phone.
Sir....do not try to confuzzle me in the morning on my day off after a 70hr week.(it's not difficult)Lol....Got it. It's not like I'm running E85.
