I think I have a cast iron distributor gear, but regardless it looks fine (I checked yesterday). I'll pull the valve covers later today and see if there is anything there. I'm also cutting open the
oil filter to see if there are other signs of bearing destruction. I'll check around the 3rd main and see if I can see anything and what the crank play is. I think the spec is 0.008.
Regardless I think the engine's gotta come out and be checked out (but someone better than me).
