Message	We finally got around to pulling the oil filter and taking a look inside. Keep in mind, this is on a 1,000 mile motor with four oil changes. This oil/filter combination has approx. 100 miles on it. Here is what generous amounts of bearing material looks like. Filtered through a paper towel: Kills me that this has to come back apart! We will be dropping the motor in the next week or so and taking it to a local machine shop that does most of SW's work. The guy is supposed to be a real detail king. With any luck, we will be able to readily identify the cause of the bearing failure. Regards, Bryan
