[QUOTE="01silverstang, post: 16809606, member: 21743"] Talked to the owner of a local shop and sent pictures, he thinks its linked to a bad powder coating on the cam covers. The red flakes are powder coating that has chipped off. The metal dust could be from the covers not being properly cleaned before coating, could be tiny bits of residual blast media (aluminum oxide), etc. all of which would be non magnetic. Going to go the 100 easy miles route and see what the new oil looks like when it comes out... have it tested and try not to freak out between now and then. I wanted to get the intake manifold powdercoated wrinkle black, I may have the cam covers re-done as well making sure the insides are not coated. [/QUOTE]
