I have a Jabiru 3300, Serial Number 33A1687. As part of a warranty repair to the heads which included replacing the slow-bleed lifters with quick-bleed lifters, Pete recommended that I also convert to the internal oiler upgrade, which I did. All head work was performed by Jabiru USA. After about six hours of run time I pulled the rocker covers to re-torque the heads and found a lot of bright yellow debris in the heads and oil filter. I called Pete and he told me it was just the ends of the rocker bushings, that that was "NORMAL" and "Wasn't a problem".

Are the particles floating around inside your engine? <--- Problem. Can the particles access points such as oil galleys? <--- Problem Can the particles wedge themselves between cylinder and rings? <--- Problem HELL YEA! It is a problem. Get that answer in writing and also have the warranty state it will cover any problems.
