(I have only ever run the specified Pentosin oil, with changes at or less than 10k miles.) Where else might I look for more in the head? The valve cover and oil pan are both still removed, is there some way to clean out wherever these shavings might be hiding? Is it worth removing the head in order to insure there are no more shavings that will cause future problems? I pulled off the oil pan and much to my surprise, did not find any shavings there at all. I have a magnetic drain plug, and of course, it had some as well, but there is a huge percentage of cam wear metal unaccounted for. Some have said it all went into the oil filter, but I got curious, and with the cam and rockers off, I stuck a couple small magnets into whatever pools of oil I could see in the head.
I am in the middle of replacing and repairing not only that, but several other things as well, but am now wondering where all the metal no longer on the camshaft went. So at 147,000 miles, the original camshaft in my 06 BRM Jetta finally got bad enough that I heard the telltale bad cam engine sound.
