Re: Grey slug on oil plug??? Depends on amount you found.A small amount
is good. A large amount is bad, the kind
of metal found makes a big difference to
dull grey ( bearings) bad. Shiney Metal
is usually sign of metal to metal contact.
Beast advice save metal as you called
"slug" and get a second opinion <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
