After last seasons riding I decided to do some work on my engine. I have some oilleaks and some noises that I wan't to look into. When I took out the small oilfilter on the right side i saw quite a lot of small metal pieces. The main filter has no metal i it and is whole, its the strainer type not the paperfilter-type. No metal in the oil either. Found one piece of plastic. Could it be that the PO never cleaned the side filter properly? I will check the cam chain guide anyway because of the plastic, but are there other things that could leave metal in my side filter?

Hi, Fossi.
My money's on the front camchain slipper. What year is your engine?

It's a 1977. Supposed to be rebuilt not to long ago. But I think I got screwed by the PO on that point because I hav had all the known leaks and then some. And most of the gaskets looks old. I will check the cam chain guide as soon as I get the new parts, probably tomorrow. I Assume you mean then guide when you say camchain slipper? My norwegian tends to get in the way of my english.
Yes, cam chain guide.
