Will they have time to check out the other array's problem with the
metal shavings?


No. But there's no big hurry too, either. P4 and P6 provide plenty of
power now that they can track the sun, and S4 adds some juice even if
it can't track the sun. They said initially that fixing the S3 SARJ
would be several Shuttle missions down the road. My guess is that
they'll add inspection of the SARJ (what they would have done on this
flight had P6 not been crippled) to STS-122 next month, and repairs
will be way down the road on 126 or 119.
