If so, I never had any visible particles in my oil (cant really tell now), and I don't have the aftermarket IMS-B anymore, nor do i have an oil filter I can (easily) cut open any more :-) PArt of moving to the oiled journal bearing is an adapter that requries a spin-on metal can OF. Which i dont like as well. All gone after the rebuild last winter. I do UOA. Its quite amazing what one learns - mostly that the preponderance of oil advice is wrong. e.g.: my oil's shear down for the "hot" viscosity is nearly nil, dilution - one of the supposed killers of track and race car oil, is unmeasurable, and additives are near the levels specified on the back of the bottle. Basically i could leave it in forever (well, longer, much).
For note -this was with Mobil 1 15w50, mostly for the high HTHS (> 4.5) and the 1300ppm zinc for barrier lubrication (last ditch protection)
I do have some high chromium - which pretty must has to be rings - which may or may not indicate an issue. Runs great though.
My IMS-B is now an oiled journal bearing. Done when the motor was out for Nickasil liners.
