B engine Stuff

[MGMagnette@aol.com]

Two questions:
 
1. Would sloppy valve adjustment cause low compression in a single  cylinder?
 
2. Without reading into my first question... haha...  what is  considered a 
normal amount of swarf for a relatively new engine?  I  found some collected in 
the last countersunk oil feed hole of the rocker  shaft.
