Casting flash in lifter valley

If you're rebuilding the engine (down to the bare block), it wouldn't hurt to take a deburring bit on a dremel and just dress the jaggedness down a little. However, if you're not rebuilding, it's not worth the risk of getting metal particles into the engine. The problem with the cam and lifters is NOT associated with any of this. If putting a new cam and lifters is all you're doing, leave it alone. It's fine. BTW, I have both a brand new 6.1 block and brand new HC block and they both have this sloppiness. Looks like someone just too a hammer and chisel and busted out that thin area for oil drainback.
Thanks I was planning on just replacing the cam and lifters since the rod and crank bearings looked clean as a whistle but if I clean these up then the rest of the "might as wells" might turn this into a race engine and blow the budget.
