I changed the oil after breaking in the cam. (I was bored and wanted to crawl around under it.) I used a new, clean bucket and let any metal settle out. I didn't see any metal in the oil but it showed one tiny speck of metal on the oil filter. I'll be doing a 125 mile oil change tomorrow.
1948 3/4-Ton 5-Window Flatbed Chevrolet 34 Years. Now with a '61 261, 848 head, Rochester Monojet carb, SM420 4-speed, 4.10 rear, dual reservoir MC, Bendix up front, 235/85R16 tires, 12-volt w/alternator, electric wipers and a modern radio in the glove box.
