388 sbc metal in oil
new rebuild on old engine, used new eagle crank and rods. Last weekend couldnt ask for a better ride 6.60's all night to finals. Won the money loaded on trailer. Stepped the jets on carb down 2 (front) because it was to rich and headed back to track. Now car runs 190 degrees after pass was 165 and runs 6.80's. Loaded up and headed home after chaning jets back to old setting. Drained oil today and found small amount of "paste looking metal on plug with 2 larger pieces. Only problem with build was the rods had .015 side clearance at assembly. I have always considered that to be the minimum on sbc. What works for you? I will know more about whats wrong when i get it out and get the covers off. 10 passes on this engine!
