Post track day Diagnosis
Cut open the filter; Copper coloured flakes, and some tiny metal fragments. = Could be bearing
Running the engine, was rough increasing after 2000 rpm and up.
Checked the flywheel inspection cover, for clutch debris, or evidence of pilot bushing wear = none
No oil leaks from the rear main bearing seal = maybe the rear main bearing is okay.
Pulled the valve covers, spun the pushrods = some look bent.
Removed the pushrods = at least 5 were bent.
Got a leakdown tester, and bore scope.
Bore scope = doesn't look like any valves kissed the pistons, but pistons look ugly.
Leakdown = not good the cylinders which had the bent pushrods, are 10-18%, the good cylinders are 4-5%
Next step; pull the engine and remove the heads.
