What to expect after flat tappet lobe failure.

I had a cam wipe a lobe back in 2008 on my old 360. I lost a lot:

• Cam and lifters (obviously).
• Oil pump.
• Pistons got pieces of metal stuck between the skirt and the cylinder walls, scratched up the cylinders and destroyed the pistons.
• Bearings looked OK oddly enough.

I ended up doing a total rebuild and going stroker. The only parts that I didn’t touch were the heads/intake. Had to bore the block 10 thousandths to remove all the scratches.
