Metal on oil drain plug????
 
Quick history.... This 502 has 220 hours on it. 25 hours ago i put a new cam , lifters , springs and roller rockers in it. I used pezoil 10/40 to breack it in along with that gm additive. At 12 hours i changed oil filters and cut it open , no flakes of death. Today i drained the oil, there was alot of sludge around the magnet[oil and metal im guessing]. I cut the filter open again and nothing to be seen. Should I be freakin out about this about of shavinging? Is it just from the the new parts? I reallllly hope so!!! Thanks Guys .. sj

Watch your oil pressure, if no changes I would just keep running in. I have never lost a cam after 25 hrs. Everyone I had left looooong before that. Remember your motor has 220 hrs on it. The slug may be there from all of those hrs.
