Yeah, that would be the piston rings and the cylinder walls, and 
from the cam and lifters, but the vast majority of wear particles are 
alum from under the valve springs and from the pistons, and dist 
crank drive gear (Brass), main and cam bearings, and the cam 
gear.

I have a manual that mentions an assembly that fits under the oil 
strainer. Is this what you have? I'd love to get one to try for myself; 
does anyone know where to buy one?
