I got round to flushing the frame of any debris left over from the cam seizure. The oil screen screws into the frame next to the frame oil drain plug. Much was my surprise at all the metal particles caught here! I flushed the frame with several litres of parafine until I was satisfied that no particles were being wash out anymore.

I'll now check it at a regular basis to get warning of serious component wear. When seriously looking to buy a used bike again it is certainly worth having a look here for signs of serious wear inside the motor.
