to rebuild or not to rebuild

[T56elcamino]

I have recently purchased some new aluminum heads and have now wiped my second hydraulic flat tappet cam. Come to find out I have to remove the inner valve spring during break in. My question is, should I rebuild the motor because of all the metal shavings that have circulated through the motor? Or is there something I can flush it out with or something? thanks...

I would look at the bearings, especially if this is the 2nd cam.

are you using the break in additive? i had a cam do the same thing and i checked the bearings out if evrything looked good i through it all back together

No i didn't but when I ordered the cam thats coming in next week I ordered the break in additive with it. I guess I'll be tearing it down again this weekend, omg...
