I have found another bit of metal stuck in the Pressure Relief Valve. Symptoms of metal stuck in the valve is sudden loss of oil pressure (although still pressure with higher RPMs). This is the second piece I have found so now I'm **** bent on finding what is shredding itself in my engine.
Facts:
•I have only found the bits in the PRV. There is no indication of metal in the oil coming from the dipstick. (Hot or cold engine, microscopic or chunks)
•The metal looks like it's being shaved off of something, more like a small chunk. So my guess is something either got in the way or is braking off.
•Compression is good
Basically just trying to make a checklist of places I will check. My first two places are going to be the distributor and oil filter assembly. Any other thoughts?!
