So I was working on the car this weekend, and among a few other things, the oil pan was one of the items being replaced. Upon draining the oil I had a mini heart attack as I pulled the magnetic drain plug and saw a metal flake on it. There were also some more tiny metal fragments as well. I didn't really see anything else in the oil and the old pan appeared clean as well.
The car has driven/drives fine, I've had a stage 2 Procharger kit on it for about six months now and haven't had any engine related problems(that I know of) just a bad O2 sensor and rear wheel bearing. I wouldn't say i'm the gentlest driver, but I don't beat on it constantly.
Tomorrow i'll be cutting open the oil filter to check out what's inside, but what else can I look at/check? Where do I go from here? Is this my excuse to rebuild and do forged internals? (If so, anyone know of a reliable place in/near Pasco County, Florida?)
