Do mean the condition of the top end? I haven't checked the heads. All new valves, springs, etc. Since they have just 7,000 miles on them, they have been low on the priority list as far as inspecting them.
On the metal comment, there was a thin layer of sludge-like material on the bottom of the pan. Just for grins I stuck a magnet in it but it didn't seem to attract anything. I wonder if I could get an oil analysis around here...
