So my 360 had been burning coolant and there were metal particles in the oil. So last night I pulled the intake to look at the lifters and this is the second motor this happens. The last lifter on the cam did not break in and was eating away at the cam. Its the second motor I pull a cam in which the exact same lifter and cam lobe do not set. Why is this? Is the back of the engine the area that gets the least amount of oil? Curious minds want to know.
By the way I had a blown head gasket that was leaking oil into the coolant and coolant into the cylinders. Oh well in goes the 401. Bummer.
