Looking for opinions what do you hear?
It is a DRM 500 package top end ported It has aftermarket connecting rods, after market pistons marked PMI388/I not sure about the cylinder liners, and I am pretty sure it had Nitrous run on it from the holes drilled in my storage compartment.
I have no idea the abuse this engine had prior to me getting it but it has been fine for 19 years with a couple of misfire issues here and there.
I have been driving it as a daily for years and it has always puffed a little oil smoke.
I know I have something going on so im not to worried about it just want to figure it out before I yank it out.

I had Amsoil 10w40 high zinc in it put in last spring.
I checked all over the place with my mechanic stethoscope couldn't really isolate it.
Oil pressure was still good
Last compression test was good but I have not checked it yet.
I am pulling the oil pan to check for anything obvious I'm guessing a rod bearing.
lifter? piston ring? piston slap or a rod knock.
I cut open the oil filter and I have small ferrous metal in the filter not a lot but some.
Anyway why do you all think it is?
