The drain plug wear materials are not normal in my experience. Its 3-4 times more than we see after 500 miles, even with dyno time on the BR30 oil.

Were cams, lifters and timing chains swapped? These are the source for most wear metals with these characteristics. What did you use for assembly lube?
