Just cut open the
oil filter..... It's full of fine fine particles, nothing large. Looks like graphite dust in the
oil.... i.e. cast iron dust.
Pulling the engine and taking it bact to Barry this weekend to open it up and take a look. We talked this morning and he has a replacement on order. He also said he will take care of warranty issues with Comp himself.
No sense in taking a chance...... Who know what else is damaged!
God I hope nothing else is trashed.
Unfortunately, I cannot go to a roller. This is a vintage solid lifter Side-oiler.
Anyone have suggestions to another cam to go with that may be better (more reliable) than CompCams? I would realy hate for this to happen again. Not sure Comp has any of my confidence at this point. Let see how they handle the warranty issues come Tuesday.
