So as I check my oil I find little metal shavings, two to be exact on my dip stick (not bubbles) to me this is something I should be worried about. I spun the #6 bearing last year, replaced all bearing, oil pump, #6 rod, piston and crank shaft then now this happens.
Also after the car sits for awhile and i turn it over I hear something rattle around for a second, sounds like something is loose. And I just had it tuned after my cam install a few weeks ago
Should I just go ahead and build my bottom end with forged aftermarket internal or just do an all OEM rebuild. Idk it just seems like a never ending story with this car

I believe this post belongs in the performance and maintenance section, but anyway
That definitely sounds suspect, I know the gte block can have certain problems might be worth looking into it to see if you can find something similar to solve your problem.

Drain oil in clean pan. I spect further. Remove the oil filter and cut in half. Inspect. Report your findings. I think you need a complete teardown and rebuild. Just for a piece of mind.

After farther inspection I seem to be in the clear. Must have been from the previous issue. I am going to check my magnetic Drain plug soon and see how it looks. But for piece of mind I'm going to start to build my bottom end, plus I want more power anyways so I'll start gathering my bottom end build slowly but surely
