Ok long story short...
I swapped oil pans on my car for a turbo installation and something went wrong the crank hit the oil windage tray. It sort of ground the tray a little (about 1/8" wide, 1/16" deep if that) and there was metallic dust in the oil. I dropped the pan again, washed it out, drained the oil twice, replaced the oil filter. I drove the car a couple hundred miles and tested the oil coming out of the oil filter housing post-filter, and it looks like it might have some of this VERY fine dust in it. What do I do to get this **** out of the engine? I'd like to avoid having to rebuild the motor right now, though I have another complete motor just not built.
This is a BMW 525i, 1992, M50 24v DOHC motor.
