What's your OCI?

Happens to a lot of them, particularly cars with higher mileage and older age.

The inside paint/coating flakes off and there is buildup on the inside of the oil filler neck at the top.

Mike, thank you. I hope the flakes do not start clogging passages...then the Turbo Lax would really come in handy!

Inside paint coating???

Are you serious?

Could that stuff ground up in the engine cause more rod bearing damage

heat is what is causing a bubbling to occur around the outside of the filler neck

IIRC the valve covers are not coated on the inside
