Help! Found metal flakes in the oil filter

[Edvard]

Hi! 

I bought a MB9 with a D15z8 last winter  quite cheap with about 150 000km. Since the previous onwer had skipped quite a few oil changes I tried to adress the situation by making several new ones in a short period of time.

A couple of days ago i made a change oil and filter. 

And then I decided to cut open the oil filter an inspect the filter. 

And to my disipointment I found metal shavings in the filter and one flake several mm big flake. 

Is this a common problem on this engine? And is it something I can do to repair it or am I in for a engineswap? 

 

Sorry about bad spelling and poor grammatics since I'm from Sweden.

Is there any other issue.?

Not really. As soon as the engine is warm it runs really good. 

Very smooth and steedy rpm:s. 

No knocking or rumbling noise. 

I would say that it's considerbly louder before it reaches normal working temperature. 

But since I don't have much experience with honda engines I find hard to tell if it's something to worry about.

The noise when its cold is characterised like something is a little loose like a bolt or something. 

A bit of a vibrating sound.
