Re: Metal fillings in new rebuilt 69 350

Sorry to say.... Cam is GONE. By what you said you cranked it up at 2k rmp until operating temp then idled.
There is your problem right there. I have built many engines with flat tappets and always run at 2000-2400 for 20 minutes. If any adjustments need to be made, Wait or shut it down. no exceptions!

The engine must be torn down fully cleaned and inspected. If you are lucky the cylinder walls are unhurt. New set of bearings, gaskets, cam and lifter.... your back in business. Your wallet may be thinner and pride dinged up a little, but much wiser.

Failure is the best teacher.... been there, done that
