Got around to my first post rebuild oil change today. As expected there was substantial metal shavings and other misc grit in the filter housing and oil pan. It seems the filter and pump screen are doing their jobs though as it was all caught there. The rest of the oil looked pretty clean. I changed the oil and filter, set the timing and also installed an oil pressure gauge. Turned the air/fuel screws out 1/8 turn as it's been bogging off idle. Now it's running better than ever and I've got good oil pressure. Still no leaks.
