Metal shavings right after build (1500 on build motor)
Yes michael everything is new i just change the oil again today and it was completely clean not a single shaving was found in the oil. Car is maintaining oil pressure perfect in idle is about 22-30 psi. I hope it wasn't a beating i may drive the car for couple of day and re- change the oil again, if anything i will remove the oil pan just to be 100% sure
I would be interested to know if that material is actually bearing material or if its just crap from the castings. I have a few local buddies who have 1000+HP supras and casting material is pretty common when they change their oil. Now is the time to know, though.. I would send the next oil change out of some analysis just to be sure.
After a fresh engine build a small amount of metal shavings is normal as everything needs to wear in a little. Keep an eye and ear on your car in the mean time. Best thing you can do is talk to the builder about it. Then if that gets you nowhere pull the pan and check the bearings. If everything there is ok then you can either drive it and not worry about it untill something happens or you can completely disassemble and inspect the entire engine. It's up to you how concerning this is to you and how much time you want to spend on it.
Yes sr i already changed the oil 2 times and nothing is coming out and it is holding pressure at iddle like a champ i was just scare to have a blown short-block but im guessing everything is fine well at least not weird noises or anything like that. I still scare but i cant be thinking on that all day i just keep running her and paying attention to any weird sound or stuff like that. Time will let me know when the next build will take place lol 😃😃😃😃 thanks for your opinion.

Think your rt on here.. You always going to get something in the pan--. If the pressure is holding up at idle and its not knocking you may be ok. Run time will tell, it isn't going to hurt anything now. Sounds like you already know if its bearings a drop in oil pressure at idle is a sure sign of an issue--
