All it had was a fine ferrous dust, maybe one teaspoon max. I had coolant seeping into my motor because of an incompetent Edelbrock Torker 2 install by my manufacturer, Vern Redel of West Coast cobras. My main bearings are shot, and the rod bearings have minor wear and look a bit glazed, although visually the crank and cam looks good, as well as the rest of the motor. Time for a professional hot tank and overhaul, including new rings. Sorry to give you this news, but you likely have quite a bit of damage in there and I would not run it another second. It will cost ya a lot more if a rod goes thru the block ! It looks like about $2 K at this point, including a professional dyno job, but it could have been a LOT more! Pulling the motor in a week or two....
