Metal sheen in engine oil

In, for lab results.
What kinda oil consumption did your engine have?

I'm not entirely sure as I've only had the car for a month, but I've been adding some here and there. My guess would be about a quart between oil changes. I'll know more once I get some more miles on this oil.

I've ordered some UOA kits for the next oil change. Trash got picked up before I could dig out the old filter
Did some work, had to replace valve cover gasket and adjust the valves, I also took off the vtec solenoid and looked there. I didn't see a speck of metal in any of the ports or filter on the gasket. Exhaust valves were a little tight but not by much.
Didn't see any material laying around the head either, so hopefully I'm in the clear. I do see some slight scoring on a few of the cam lobes, not sure if that is normal.

The exhaust cams between tower 5 / 4 and 4 / 3 and intake cams between 4 / 3 show a line on the non-vtec lobes.
It's also on the corresponding cam rollers, as far as the image shows.
That could be raised (cracked) retainers, make sure they are ok.
I don't think it would be the cause of metal in the oil though.
