yes I have changed the oil twice now. the first change there were fine metal flakes but the rings were new as well. the second change no visible metal. I am going to be changing it in a few miles here.

The only thing I found was after buying new parts the camshaft endplay was at minimum spec 0.001". we shaved the cam gear surface down and now it has 0.005" for endplay.
