Tappets

Last night I decided to drain the oil.  Then this morning I was going to refill and head up to the swap meet.  When I pulled the filleter out of the oil tank I noticed some particulate mater on the rim.  Upon further inspection it looks to be metal fillings.  SHIT!  Well long story short I talked to Hawg and based on the noise the push rods were making he figured it was at least one tappet going out.  So this after noon I started pulling them apart.  Now I’m no expert but I’m pretty sure the tappets are in good shape.  There is no play that I can tell in them.  So the next guess is maybe a piston is disintegrating.  Again SHIT.  But at least I’m checking all this be fore something catastrophic happens.
