(:-) spooge ? (:-) that a nice word but the proper term in the machine trade is "swarf."

Swarf, also known as chips or by other process-specific names (such as turnings, filings, or shavings), is pieces of metal, wood, or plastic that are the debris or waste resulting from machining, woodworking, or similar subtractive (material-removing) manufacturing processes. Swarf or chips can be small particles, such as the gritty swarf from grinding metal.

I googled it and the definition above goes on but Spooge does not sound any cleaner!

FYI
On grinding machines a magnetic drum turns slowly while partial submerged in the surface of the coolant sump. Most of the swarf floats on top of the solution. The drum has a scraper blade attached to the outer surface and pushes the captured swarf off into a lump or pile into a trough.


I have a engine on a stand too. Been thinking about popping the pan for a look see. I have never heard it run as I got it out of a PNP w a five speed years ago. Supposedly?, it might only have 132K on the whole works!
I am more worried about piston slap but I do not know how one could check for that with out yanking the pistons for measurements.

Does anyone?
