Been trying to figure out what my noise is and were it was coming from. Some how I starting looking at the oil, been change 3 times since cam break-in, about 1 1/2 hrs total with new cam. Each time came out black, being nosy I pulled the filter and poured the oil in a clear container, the oil came out black, grayish, and shiney. A bunch, a whole pile of very fine metal. Now could this still be break-in lube or worse, actual metal in the oil.
Did I munch the cam on the break-in, or after break-in. I followed the instruction on how to break-in a cam, or I thought I did.
Now if metal in oil, should I be done with this 390 and start over with a fresh rebuild? Could this bad oil eat up my new Erson roller rockers?
Sorry about all the questions. I hope someone might know something about what might of happened.
Info on what I have
390 in a 76 F-150
Stock bottom end
This is what I change from stock
fresh rebuild heads c7ae-a
erson roller rockers
428 PI intake
comp cam XE256H w/lifters and pushrods
625 road demon carb.
