It had cylinder 3 misfire, I found shavings on the VVT Solenoid and in the oil filter. Oil pan was caked in shavings, not sure what caused it.

Most likely a lifter failure that wiped out the cam which caused the shavings.

I recently installed Flowmaster American Thunder Catback exhaust with 50 series muffler and AFE Cold Air Intake. Still wanting too install the Truetrac and do a tuner kit, one of these days.
