Vibration and shavings in oil.

[Jacque]

Hi all,

I Have noticed a vibration around 2000rpm (comes around then, then goes) and maybe at a higher rpm, hard to tell. Ive done a oil change and noticed very small shavings in the oil, some appear to be copper? what should I be looking at before I make the call to strip the engine down?

Engine mods etc. Ls3, magnuson supercharger, cam, highflow oil pump.. also engine rebuilt 40k km ago.

Thanks.

I know it won't attract copper, but I'd be getting a magnetic sump plug in there asap and see what it grabs while your working it out.

Perhaps it's something to do with the valvetrain...and small parts getting smashed together with the cam??
