Hey everyone, just wondering what would cause metal shavings in my oil. Did an oil change on my 3 wheeler today and when I pulled the plug the oil came ut as it should have, however when I checked my filter screen I noticed metal shavings in it. First thing I did when I saw the shavings was shake a few into my hand and took a magnet to them. They did not stick so this tells me that they were most likely aluminum shavings. The oil screen was so dirty that I couldn’t see thru it so I cleaned it out with carb cleaner. Filled the trike with fresh oil and checked for leaks, started it up and and let run for a few and then rechecked the oil level. Does anyone know what the metal shavings could be from? My research online suggests that the cam chain could be in need of tightening, also found one item that said metal to metal condition between piston and sleeve, and the list goes on. Any ideas? I know that to adjust the cam chain tension that you have to take the nut/bolt out from the engine,and use a screw about 3" long and thread it into the cam chain tensioner and jiggle it around until it loosens up and adjusts the chain. Does any one know the right size screw thread count and diameter that I would need to do this? The trike is an 82 Honda 200. Sorry for the length and any advice is always greatly appreciated, thanks in advance, Bill
