Can you see through the pushrods out of #8, or can you run a piece of safety wire through them unrestricted? I'd still drain the oil and check for metal. If you wiped a lobe that's a bunch of microscopic abrasive flowing through the engine, so you're looking at a total teardown. I wouldn't waste a nickel on building a flat tappet cam engine today. It's been said that it's not "IF" it will fail, but only "When" it will fail.
If you didn't wipe a lobe? It's a pretty healthy knock from the video, so chances are you're gonna be taking it down, at least enough to get #8 pulled out....Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
Saw this posted on FB, and thought of posting it on the Joke Page as a Model A Donk, but then thought it's not a joke, it's cool!! -
