Clean as a whistle. I love this car to death.

Very interesting how Honda built a separate oil galley casting that bolts to the bottom of the main bearing supports for oiling, rather than run galleys thru the block like most other manufacturers. Probably explains why these engines last so long, having those nice big high-flow passages everywhere.

I did notice that as well and fished the stuff out with a pick. I only found one magnetic sliver, the rest looked like lazy gasket maker chunks and some pine needles or something that must have fallen in the oil fill cap at some point in the car's history.

There is some known damage to cylinder 3 in this engine due to some idiot leaving a broken spark plug ground strap in it. but it only lost about 8psi of compression so this metal/debris isn't from that.
