Seating new rings = fine metal dust?
Just changed my oil after breaking in the new motor. There was alot of very very fine metal dust in the oil to make it look almost irridescent. Im assuming that the rings seating against the cylinder hone?

Yeah, mine had a bunch of metal shavings, and assembly lube in it the first time I changed the oil. It was so much that it was already getting dark after only about 100 miles. The second time, after about 200 more miles, there was very little metal, and the last time, after 1000 more miles, there was none. So, i would say you are fine, unless it keeps up.
