Re: urgent help need, bronze shavins in oil
New oil shouldnt be black yet anyway.
Did you get the head rebuilt? because I know that if the cam is pulled out and the head sandblasted or cleaned a lubricant (which looks shiny) is put under all the bearings and lobes of the cam.
Hope this helps
Cheers Matt

Re: urgent help need, bronze shavins in oil
new engine with new rings will leave the oil looking mettalic till the firct change.
take the oil to a mechanic if unsure, but if youve already dropped the oil once after over 50kms then i would be a little cautious

Re: urgent help need, bronze shavins in oil
this is after the second oil change.
the head i had done by a proper mechanic because the motor came back with the wrong head on it.
Take the oil to a engine reconditioned, he not sure if its bearing. The motor has no nocks either.
thanks
