I was lucky. I was adjusting the valves when I heard a squeel in the motor. Drained the oil and it had a bunch of metal in it. Pulled the motor and caught it in time. It ate most of the lobes on the cam and the lifters too. All in all it cost me a little over $2,500 to have it fixed and re-dynoed.
BTW it was a new motor with less than 50 (200') passes. That's probably like 15 or 20 passes for you drag racers when you figure I don't do burnouts.
I run a special order crane now.
