[QUOTE="jpaz, post: 360085, member: 2971"] Well, Crower said that it was either that or it was possibly from a paper towel. I still am not sure. Can’t believe it was either, but here’s the pics that Crower sent me after they took them apart. The black chunks are what they found and said they were some kind of a fiber material. I found nothing in the one I took apart. But they said this was in every one they took apart. I don’t know what to think. If there was a paper towel left in the engine somehow it would get sucked up into the oil pump screen and then I wouldn’t have much if any oil pressure. If it was the oil filter, then like you say there would probably be a big problem. I did cut the oil filter open that was on when this happened. It looked pretty shabby, but I was mainly looking for metal shavings at that time. Wish I would have taken a picture of it but I didn’t. Anyway I’m switching to wix filters on the recommendation from Crower, my engine builder and the machine shop. Every FL-1A filter I put on leaked, every one! I have a Wix on now and no leaks.
