I agree with Mr. F and have 2 more cents to offer

Sounds like foriegn material still in the block from all the machining operation. Often, machine shops will tag cranks and blocks and heads etc stating a disclaimer about home assembly and stating for the assembler to thoroughly clean the part. Grooves sound like iron bits to me. Better check your bearings and hope the crank didn't get scored also. If the crank and it's bearings look like new, then I'd suspect insufficient or the wrong assmebly lube on the cam. Also, you may not have lifters matched to the cam as they were from different manufacturers. I use Crane cams and always install Crane lifters....just in case. Hope the damage is limited to what you've found but I doubt it.
This thread, so far...
