My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

So I was really hoping to find something of carnage in the oil pan, but other than a couple flecks of plastic type material, nada.

I can't see any score marks, but when looking up at #2, I can see what looks like scuffs?





Did I find the culprit? If so, would that alone be enough to cause blowby and oil usage? And what could have been the cause?

I haven't pulled the head yet.
