I occasionally see the same bits in my oil filiter and believe that they are from the cam chain/Variocam tensioner pads. 90K mile engine continues to run fine with no variation in cam deviation values at idle. Spent 2hrs (four 30-min sessions) on Sunday running at Auto Club Speedway near redline and the engine was happy as a clam. __________________ 1999 996 C2 - sold - bought back - sold for more 1997 Spec Boxster BSR #254 1979 911 SC POC Licensed DE/TT Instructor
