Ya sorry. My post was supposed to be a tongue in cheek joke but came across more like a whine.
Yes this supports much of what has been said and I appreciate seeing it. That valve cover shows exactly how chunks can be introduced after the oil filter. They would be a bigger concern than what is ever found in the pan.
Still doesn't go far enough because there are at least two more colours of sealant used someplace. Would require a complete tear down to find where they are coming from though.
