Hope that fixes the sputter problem. Because after this your getting in to more mechanical problems. The metal shavings have me thinking a possible cam bearing, but would like to hear from Bill on his thoughts. Need to rule out everything else before we get to that point.

Well....... while it is tough to internet diagnose some stuff, I frequently get gut feelings. Gut still says chipped piston. I know what you guys are thinking.. but how'* that Bill?
Chipped piston edges heat up and cause predetonation. That causes the car to run horribly. Won't affect a compression test because of how our rings seal and it'* easy enough to have happen.
It'll make some noise and mangle one plug, which led me to my thoughts on it.
