It would seem, by reading the cylinder head installation instructions, that there are copper links in the timing chains. I'm not sure how much this will contribute to the copper content in the oil.

While looking at the pics, it made me wonder what material goes into making the timing chain tensioners? Are those plastic? You'd think those would wear a lot.

I wish I could find a used engine for cheap. I want to take it all apart and see what makes it tick.
