Those metal shavings had to go somewhere.



I just went through the same type of thing with a MP 509 cam and lifters. #8 intake lifter stuck and wiped the cam lobe.

When I dropped oil pan it looked like metal flake paint in there. I had to do a complete teardown, wash and rinse. I put all new main and rod bearings in, got new cam etc, almost together. Maybe fire tomorrow or sunday....Good luck on your motor.
