Never had an engine blow up or wipe a cam, so I need some ideas on how to clean up the inside of block. I bought a 5.7 with a piggy-backed rod bearing and the metal grit is everywhere (not sure if lifters would be contaminated). Everything is coming apart, so what's the best way of cleaning? What about cam bearings?
The lifters will be contaminated too , I spun a bearing on a 383 many years ago , it had a cam and lifters I just put in a few hundred miles before the bearing spun. I opened them up and flush them with brake wash and ran the solution thru a white rag , every lifter had metal in it .
