Since I had metal particles (i believe bearing material) throughout the oil system, what can I reuse from the top end? Will the roller rockers, pushrods, and lifters still be okay if I clean them? Best way to clean the heads? ---

metal shouldnt of gotten into the heads but if it does air helps get alot of it out. heads and that should be fine as long as you didnt bend a valve. cam might even be good but i would inspect it why not just send the block out and get it machined to make it a 355 for a budget and toss everything back on the motor. or if money allows it make it some sort of stroker ---

Sonic clean…rockers and pushrods…if lifters are hyd rollers I would disassemble first, check em out before trying to clean. Was there bearing material in the lifter valley? ---
