So we tore the whole thing down and cleaned everything Mag'd everything ect...

Are you sure the oil filter didn't just come apart? Fram filters are notorious for it.

^^The cardboard material was on the out side of the pickup. It has no way of making it to the crankcase area as it would have to go through my pushrods basically. Also no filters were exploded I cut mine apart and inspect regularly on all the builds I've done. We also compared the material found vs. filter material and it was different. I use wix filters/napa gold1515 same filter.

I'd bet that cardboard made its way into the motor after it left woodys shop. It would be pretty hard to miss that much during a build.

Oh common DrK if it happened to you I doubt you'd be saying that! Yeah someone sabotaged me on purpose and opened a brand new motor that was ran at his shop... The down time, bearings, rings, hone, crank polish, all gaskets, assembly and ect. on a new build. He did nice work on the crank, there was a scuff in cylinder 4, one of the rod bolts where he clearanced the block out was very close the rest where good. Looked like he had a 5year old with a dremel tool smoothing out the lifter valley. Seems that maybe he was in a rush or a new employee made a boo boo it does happen... Now had the motor been used I would've went in a checked it out, being new and ready to go and his reputation is why I did not think I needed to look but Lesson learned... Things could've gotten way worse if I didn't notice the blockage it would've took out everything!
