New heart! RB style

No I was fixing a leak with the external pick up on the pan. It had a cheesy little oring that must have tore when I tightened down the lock nut. Anyways I made a nice little rubber washer to go on so I pulled the AN fitting out of the pan and figured I would feel around inside with my finger just to see. and you know how you felt when the school bully punched you in the gut when you were 8? Thats about how I felt as I pulled my finger out with metal shavings all over it. So on to today I pulled the intake and rocker gear I noticed a lobe on the cam didnt look to good. So upon further tear down I found that #7 intake lifter was severely ate up and the lobe is half gone. Now just hope the metal didnt hurt any bearings and stuff. I should have it out and tore down this weekend to further investigate damage..

OMG! If you only knew!!
My 86 Prostreet Ram had a 500" RB with Mopar stage 5 heads, it ate 3 cams on the exact #7 intake lobe. All 3 were Purpleshafts. I switched the 4th with a Lunati and it never happened again. I did put lighter springs on for the break-in period and reinstalled the double springs all 4 times. I never did figure out what the hell was going on. I didn't hurt anything but I had a strong magnet glued to the inside of the oil pan.
