i bought a bottom end off of a friend last year it had 8hrs on it. he ran a rekluse but took it out when i bought it. when i got it there was a thick layer of metal shavings in the bottom of the side case and the oild was silver there was so much. i thought it was because the way he ran the rekluse so i cleaned it out and put my stock clutch in it and ran it for about 20hrs. when i tore it down for the winter rebuild it had metal shavings in it agian but not as bad. is it posible that i just didn't clean it out very well and it is stuff left over from the first time? or what could cause this problem? any info would be great thanx.

the clutch sometimes will make the oil metallic like. but maybe something is wrong with the case and something is not aligning right and wearing bad. how much metal we talking? can you get a pic?
