I'm confused? What are you guys seeing that's gold? That pan is the picture of after I blew out the filter with brake cleaner, the gold color stuff looked to me like just a mix of the brake cleaner and the oil. It was all clear liquid, I didn't see any grittyness or metallic sheen to it. The oil that came out of the filter before I hit it with brake cleaner had a gray look to it but not metallic either, at least I don't think so. You can see where it seperated from the brake cleaner there. I was thinking it was still assembly lube in there.

As for the results, cylinder 2's intake was at 20 thousandths, cylinder 4's intake was at 20 thousandths and cylinder 8's intake was at 30 thousandths (lash should have been 16). Every other rocker on both sides were within 1 or 2 thousandths of where I set them.
No sign of any wear on the ball or cup, adjuster nuts all took muscle to break loose. I don't get it. What does suck is the piston faces of almost all the cylinders look wet and black. Curious to see what the leakdown says.

I think most of that metal towards the bottom right was from the filter cutting job actually. It was pretty awful, never doing that again lol. I inspected the filter very closely before blowing it out with brake cleaner and didn't see any of those bigger chunks, I think they were part of the filter housing that ended up there probably stuck to the rag I was using. Probably the worse filter inspection ever, I know. It had a long day that day haha.

Make sure your intake manifold is not sucking oil into the bottom of the runners This is not a uncommon problem with built (heads and block cut)B & R/B type motors with the stock valley pans Are you using a single plane intake or dual plane like stock? If a single plain pull the carb. and look down the intake runners towards the heads, it the intake is dry and dull looking and the intake ports in the heads are shiny and wet then you have located a problem to fix that will make your motor run a lot better
