I just did a tear-down for one of my engines for a 250 hr refresh and everything internally was perrrrfect.

Thanks everyone for the comments and first hand experiences! This is exactly the kind of information I was after. I feel much more comfortable about the flakes I have found. Filter inspection is going to become part of my regular oil changes.
Hopefully, in the event something starts to go, it will provide some forewarning.

I put a filtermag on a new engine. When I change the oil I'll leave the magnet on when I cut open the filter. I know the copper won't stick but there shouldn't be any. Doug

Thanks BlueThunder, that is mine. The Eickerts took a lot of work to get them in that condition. The aluminum castings are really wavy, I filled in the lows and blocked them flat before spraying the Red Candy. Thanks for noticing!
