This filter was completely clean when we started this engine after repairing the valves.
The engine was started, run until it was warmed up and we were satisfied that it was running correctly after the head work.
We checked the timing, and after it was shut down, we then set the valve lash.
As part of the decommissioning process I took the fuel filter apart and this is what I found.
What the heck is it. It almost looks like metal shavings? Where did they come from? the pump?
It is a new pump, there is a new tank and some new lines, all of which were thoroughly washed out?????
The engine was run a total of one to two minutes, used less than two gallons of fuel, a Pit Pal funnel with fuel filter was used to fill the tank.
