Well, I finally yanked the intake. The cam is trashed Cylinder number 8s exhaust lobe is definitely round and all the others have pitting on them. I think I caught it before sending trash too far through the engine, so I guess the plan is to pull the cam, confirm the grind, get a new one (If it's COMP I'm going to avoid that and have Crower or Isky grind an exact duplicate of whatever's in it. My friend highly recommends either and I've been hearing far too many horror stories about Comp lately), and keep a very close eye on the oil when I get it running and follow the break in to a T.
