ummmm,that looks like quite a few fine shavings.i'm about to change mine and i hope like hell i don't see that many shavings on the plug.have you noticed any change in oil pressure or any tapping ? anyways maybe a clearance was alittle too tight and now it is right

I notice my oil pressure is a bit lower than I'd like. I have ported LS6 and my hot pressure is something like 25ish and 35ish cruising. It's not starving for oil, but the pressure could definitely be higher. Of course, the pump isn't exactly the highest pressure one out there.

when i first looked at it, i thought it wasnt to bad......after u mentioned the oil psi, i'd definately keep an eye on it. Mine looks similar (a little less) at 26k, but has strong psi.

normal. mine did that for the first few oil changes when it was brand new build. I see plugs come out like that all the time changing oil at work. but def. keep an eye on the oil press. any sudden changes should raise a huge flag. Im sure it did have a bit higher oil presure when the eng. was new, but after this many miles, shouldnt drop anymore IMHO.
good luck.
good luck.
