Shouldn't the oil filter take care of that?

rubbing fuel pump eccentric
Neal please take the pan
off it is a pain but easier than a rebuild. that stuff will go through the
pump and like sand paper wear it out and the bearings. If your chevy guy cant
put on a tc who knows what else is wrong you may catch with the pan off. If
you do pull it off a oil pump is cheap you might just replace it , cheap
insurance. Not to mention contaminated oil on the cylinder will ruin
them and the rings, goodbye seal, hello smoker.

update to rubbing fuel pump eccentric
OK, thought u guys might find this interesting. I posted yesterday about
the curious shallow circle scratched on inside of my 360 timing case. I
immediately knew it had something to do with fuel pump eccentric. But it was
too late. I was tired This morning i figured it out. In short, whoever
put the motor together was an idiot. You could stand over motor
and look down and see that the forward edge of eccentric was not parallel to
front of block, but slightly askew. That gave just enough extra reach
for it to reach forward and hit inside of case.
I couldn't figure it
out until I took off the eccentric to find they had not seated the slot
in the eccentric down over key in cam!!. They just bolted it down any old
place.!! They tightened that bolt down so tight it distorted the little
cup-like washer the bolt goes through. just smooshed it down. And in
tightening it like this they smooshed out the key too. When i went to remove
cam gear it wouldn't come. I tried harder with a bar, and the cam
gear just snapped This is when i realized the key was smashed out and
preventing the gear from sliding off cam . So I took a punch and hammer
and attempted to re-shape the key, which worked, the broken hub then came
off. How somebody could not notice a key and a slot is beyond
me. So I need a new key and a new timing set. Yes I know there
is the scary issue of where did the metal go to?? Well I guess I will just
hope it's in the bottom of the pan and will stay there as I am in no position
to do a rebuild. It had good oil pressure when I last had it on the
road.
PS The timing gear was set up correctly, but if I hadn't
checked I would never have known about this
