Since I am paranoid after wiping the last cam and assorted lifters I just wanted to check.  I read a Comp Cam breakin procedure.  At the end the tech said if all your push rods are turning you are ok.
I painted a stripe on my pushrods, fired it after breakin and they all turn. Can I consider my valve train good to go.  All the rockers push the springs down about the same but it is hard to measure. Tried using the tails on my calipers but had a hard time locating on the head surface. Drained the oil it looked ok ran a magnet through it no metal. Opened up the oil filter found some fine/powdered metal in the paper element. 
Is there anything else I should look for.
Thanks
Richard
