Man that's crazy. What I'm thinking is that those needles from the rocker failure in the oil pan eventually get thrown around from the crank spinning the oil up the engine with those needles is why they got throughout the engine like that and got in between the cam and lifter. Insane. I would recommend that when and if you use that block again that you take it to someone that has an industrial parts washer cabinet that way it will get all that needles out of there. Are you going to stay N/A?
