Took the intake off and I think all these little white specks are aluminum because it doesn't sparkle in the light, I'm thinking that's from the compressor wheel.it goes through the manifold as pictured and into the motor also pictured.I could see some very very small sparkles in there and I'm thinking those are probably steel pieces?? They are so small though that I hope it's not gonna be a problem. I didn't see any big chicks.
Also took the valve cover off and everything looks intact, I wiggled all the valves and they are tight. I'm about to drop the pan and I'll let you know what I find. Am I on the right track here?
