Default How much Fuzz?
Changed the primary oil and adjusted the chain today in my '05 EG... how much fuzz should I be seeing after 2000 miles on the drain plug? Anybody out there ever worry about that nut that holds the rubbing block coming loose and obliterating the chain, etc.? I torqued to the manual and used blue locktite.

Thanks for any thoughts.

You'll usually get some fuzz, but I think you'll know if something is wrong in there. After the breakin, the fuzz tapers off a bit.

You'll always get a little sludge...it's CHIPS that you're worried about Chips will look like about the size of a finger nail clipping.
