I just got a worrisome call from Austin Z Clinic. He removed the lower oil pan and found some uncomfortably large metal shavings in it (like 1/8"+). The last time I drove it, I certainly wasn't having any issues. Going to stop by after work and take a look for myself and have a discussion with Kevin about where we go from here
I'm not really interested in tearing apart my engine unnecessarily. But I don't want to do a bunch of work and then find out that we do need to tear into it
Spent most of the fluff fund for the Z on an M3 for my daily driver so we'll just have to see what happens now and how quickly.
