to say the least the motor was filthy. The oil was BLACK, although i change it VERY regularly. The water gallery's are all full of gungy crap.
and the head gaskets appeared to be fine.

masking tape over the end of your inlet manifold mate... you dont want dust / crap / overspray getting in there

Swarf isnt a real concern unless you have chunks of it in there and especially lots of copper stuff sitting in the bottom(usually find it in the oil pan or in the pan you drained the oil into...).
A magnetic sump plug is the bom and really scares you sometimes...I have a mini and as the gearbos is in the sump of these cars, it is really frightening when you pull the sump plug - it looks like it has an afro!!
Keep the pics coming - love getting my hands dirty...
Hooroo

So what was wrong with it and what's the rebuild costing you in parts?
