bits of black plastic in oil filter
2001 986 S 100K (like exactly)
preparing to do the clutch, as described in earlier thread, but today I cut apart the filter from an oil change I had last week and there are some tiny little bits of black stuff, looks like plastic. Some are tiny chunks the smaller then a pinhead and some are little tiny scrapings. Figure this has something to do with chain tensione pads, but thought they were brown.
other ideas?
I'll post a picture at some point, but with turkey day fast approaching and out of town plans, no promises.

Is the black stuff hard/plastic or soft/rubbery? Someone may have used black sealant on the oil pan instead of the factory brown or aftermarket grey stuff.

No, no. Hard plastic, tiny. All indications are chain guides, especially given the mileage. Shopping for an engine stand now, suggestions?

You are right you have chain rails wearing. Purchase a cam timing tool set. I also suggest buy a service manual set that covers cam replacement, engine timing, and bolt torquing procedures. You should be able to find one online in a PDF.

Oh, I got all that, Bentley manual and the Dempsey 101 projects book. Looking a timing set from rpc? For around 100 bucks, it looks like it’ll do the trick, I have a link to it in one of my other posts.

RPD is the brand, is it worthwhile?
