The light duty v8,s had plastic teeth on the cam sprocket. The stovebolt 6,s had a fiber gear on the cam & steel on the crank gear. They didn,t use a chain. I would assume you got all the particles out if you had the front cover off & the pan off. Make shure the screen on the oil pump is good. If the head is not done yet now would be a good time to have hardened seats put under the exhaust valves.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
