Poor guy. I had metal in motor and everything cam apart. Turns out the needle bearings in just my exhaust T&D rockers were blown out due to incorrect spring pressure allowing valve train harmonics to destroy them.

With only 100 miles, you guys are lucky to have found this early, but that's why we cut open oil filters etc after initial run in. Be sure to use Jomar 100% bypass oil filters in the future. It saved my bottom end, which reduced the refresh/repair cost from my event.
