Started the new motor tonight and it ran but there was ticking and I shut it off after a few minutes. The corner of one of my rockers was hitting the corner one of the support ribs on the valve covers. Nothing extremely bad but there were some shavings. the covers are getting ground out tommorow but as far as getting the shavings out, we grabbed most of the junk with a rag then flushed it with some brake cleaner and oil. Won't the oil filter catch the debris if it makes it there?

Sure will. Also I learned this trick on my first car.. I dont know if it helps but it seems like it would. Get like 3-4 pretty good sized magnets... and put them on the oil filter I usually have like 4 good sized one to cirlce the filter. And you can just leave them on they wont fall off .Anything that goes in there will stay in there 
hope this helps.
hope this helps.Id be surprised if anything got past that. I would change it right after the break in becuase it will be pretty clogged with all the little shavings and assemble lube. even after you get a new filter go get a pretty good size mag about the size a radiator cap and keep it on there it wont fall off and if anythign deicides to wear prematurely it will get it.
