Re: Grit on oil drain plug
 

True and not true, Mike. The bearings are softer, not magnetic, and
designed to take the wear, but the journals can wear down too. In fact,
they will if a piece of grit gets stuck in the bearing material. Cylinder
walls also wear down. Let's see, what else? Oil pump, timing gears, chain,
valve train. Lots of sources of scrap iron exist inside an internal
combustion engine. The trick is to decide where it's coming from, whether
the source is still shedding metal, and whether the amount constitutes a
problem or not.
