Metal in oil

Look closer. There's a smaller inner spring on the inside of the dampers.

Yup, I see them now.

I take that shitty little wire damper out. All they do is eat retainers and fill the engine with dirt.

So it’s a double with a damper. It must be a cheap spring otherwise they’d be way too much for what the OP is doing.

Or replace that spring with a good single spring.

That's what I thought in one of those pics.

Looking at pictures on this phone sucks lol.

I looked pretty close at the pictures and still missed it.

Sucks getting old.

Looks like a quality build, ARP bolts all marked after torqued. 12 pt. intake bolts, viton valve seals.
Shine a light in on dampers, see if they appear to be rubbing?

Ok …but the Dampers ARE dirty/ shed metal correct?
Who are the fans of magnets in the drain areas, beside Perfacar?

Dampers definitely appear to be rubbing on the inside of the outer spring.
****.
Never messed with springs.
Maybe I’ll leave and just do magnets for now until I can get it to someone who knows what the heck they’re doin.
Al least I feel better that Y’all helped me find source.
Appreciate all the wisdom here.

It's ok. It took me a second, too. I had to decide whether or not I was seeing a shadow......it's not. They're dual sprAngs with a damper.

I've not seen anyone argue the point.
