wiped lobe, please help or console me
So that #5 exhaust valve kept getting loose on a brand new Motor with only a few hours on it. I knew there was something to it and unfortunately I was right. About a quarter to 1/4 of an inch was eaten off the lifter which had to be removed through the cam bore due to the dammage. When I probed the abyss of the oil pan with a magnet I of course found a lot of black steel paste, which I would imagine is the ideal substance for destroying bearings, piston rings, etc., etc. What can I do for damage control? Is there any hope? It is a 393 so the nasty sediment in the stock oil pan is sure to have gotten splashed everywhere. At least I know this is my own fault  I supose I'll have to hot tank the #$%&@#$. I really can't afford this...
