Yes, they installed the little odd shaped gaskets on both ends of the retainer, that sort of held the rubber seals between two fingers of the odd shaped gaskets. Yes, the rubber seals had metal in them. They were very stiff and very hard to install. I've talked to the shop about it (they are very nice about this problem), and they suggest an overpressure, such as occurs before the rings are seated. Told me to keep the oil filler (not FILTER) loose, drive it around a bunch pulling something (don't get dust in the filler), check the blowby tube, and some other things, then get back to them. I'm not near as depressed about this as I was before talking to the shop, plus sleep helps.
