why would you pull the head and look? that will tell you nothing of bottom end problems. the best idea would be to pull off the pan and check out a main and rod bearing and see if its too the copper yet. more then likely some of the bearings are the through the babbitt material and into the copper and that's where your copper flakes come from. this means the motor is ready for a freshening up, it has likely suffered some oil starvation periods.
