Rb25 rebuild oil filter

[Prof_Finesser]

So I got my engine tuned after a fresh rebuild and made 450 which is where it’s supposed to make but I took off the oil filter (after break in and dyno session) and it has a lot of metal in the filter there wasn’t very much metal on the drain plug. Just the normal fuzz black. Oil looked good no glittery stuff. But just want to see what y’all think If it’s normal and should I just run it and check it in the next oil change.

Potato photo makes it hard to see what the pieces actually are. But, apart from saying "perhaps the block/head wasn't cleaned out as well as it could have been after machining".....there's always some metal in the filter after a rebuild because it is impossible to clean it all out.

If it looks like tiny machining chips etc, then panic not. And yes, look in the next filter. And make that change earlier than you might normally, so you get the opportunity to see what is in there sooner rather than later. Again, you probably won't expect to see anything that will frighten you. But you might, and it is better to find out earlier.

Yeah, they're clearly machining chips. Nothing to worry about.
