Chunks in the oil 120-130

Matt;

"Sludge" (like the black cottage cheese found under valve covers years ago) does not occur in modern oils because they have detergents to keep things in suspension and able to get drained out at next change. Oil blackness does not occur as a result of storage.

I'd clean those chips well, then subject them to a close inspection under a lupe...any machined surfaces? Crystalline structure? Fibers?

Cheers
