Machine shop is saying, "Put the roller cam in without removing the engine, the metal filings will have been caught in the oil filtre."

They said if I insist on sending the engine out for inspection of the bearings, they will charge me if the bearings are OK.

I am pretty sure the mechanics can remove the oil pan and inspect the bearings without pulling the engine and I have asked them to do this.

If the bearings look good and the oil is well flushed things should be OK?

What symptoms would I see if metal is harming the engine? Using oil? Oil pressure dropping? Smoking? How many miles does it take to do the damage?

The car only ran for the twenty minute break-in and then two trips around the block while the four lobes were being ground down. Last failure was 800 miles before the one lobe was gone ... One oil change during that time.

This engine could be fine with a new roller cam and a good flush?

Feedback please.
