Well I had it fitted to my last engine and everytime I dropped the oil there was a similar amount yes!

Yes Jonny for sure!
I think what everyone needs to remember is that what you see there is a build up of tiny tiny particles of metal, there is not one bit that you could pick up on it's own even with a pair of tweasers, it's like really fine dust, in the picture above it's grouped together in places to form what looks like spikes (larger pieces or metal) but it isnt it's just loads of tiny particles making what looks like bigger pieces, you cant even feel it in between your fingers!
So it may look a lot, but I dont think it is really...... your engine is wearing the whole time it's running.... where does all that wear (metal) go?
