I never touched the engine before.The previous owner may have. The car was all stock when I purchased it.

The car never runs low on oil. I make sure of that. I even keep a quart in the trunk sometimes.

I will recheck those but I am pretty sure they were clean.

There was a actual chunk of metal under the cam cap. About a 1/4 big, it may have came from the cam though.

Possibly, I never touched the engine though.I did notice the cam cap bolts was not at the correct torque though. They were slightly looser than normal but tight.

This engine was quiet as day. This is why I was in so much shock when I popped the valve cover.
