Nah I didn't do a wet test. And like I said, motor is has like 5k miles on it so I better not need a new one

like i was saying that was based on stock stuff. dished pistons you would read lower, its probebly fine. but i wouldnt be running that sc and more, metal shavings and new motor = very bad. Id take it out and probebly pull intake and wash it out. make sure you arent putting any of that into your motor, or if you have that you get everything out. even change the oil...since theres a good chance its floating in there too.
