well first my old combo (brake in only) the heads leaked water into a cyl and it HYD locked. so i sent the 360(.030 over) xe274h cam, 770 carb ext.. out to get stroked (410) same cam lifters, intake and carb, during brake in it seemed to run ok, but had a rough idle.. so the weather was cold and i let it sit. Today i thought id lookinto it and pulled off a valve cover and found 3 broken adj alu rockers. Now i know there must be alu shavings in the oil Grrrrrrrrr, I know some of you have had simular problems. did you change main and rods? or run it?
