Lost Cam Lobes - Metal Chips in Engine

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

My 440 lost two cam lobes, one fully gone. (#4 & #6 intake.) Need to clean out the powdered metal.

Any suggestions on getting the powdered metal out with the engine in the car?  What can I use to flush out the motor that won't leave a residue that could be a problem since I need to fire the engine and immediately run at 2,000 RPM to break in the new cam?

What I'm going to do is blot up all the oil in the lifter gallery, picking up what metal I can. I'm going to pull the pan and clean it out thoroughly.  Pull the pump and check it - I'm figuring it's trash but I'll check it. Pull the filter, cut it open to see if it got clogged.  Pull a number of rod and crank caps and check the bearings. They'll be magnets involved in the clean-up, also. 

Anything I've overlooked?
