Of course the quantity and size must not be excessive. Re the picture, bushing material comes to mind, camshaft bearings, rockers, etc. Re oil analysis, it is mainly a comparative method, though the specialist can determine what looks normal and what doesn't. Few people know that fixed base operators are offered free oil analyses by oil distributors, so if you have a friend in the business you won't have to pay ;-) Best regards, -- Gilles http://contrails.free.fr ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:02:24 PM PST US From: "Peter Harris" Subject: RE: JabiruEngine-List: Deposits in Oil Filter Jerome as I understand it there will normally be some magnetic particles due to the bedding in of the rings. I found a significant amount in mine at 15hrs. There should be no non magnetic bearing material which is normally white.
