<VV> I wiped a cam lobe. Now what?

Aluminum Chevy V-8, mechanical lifters and too much spring pressure.  Am replacing with hydraulic roller lifters and more normal spring rates.  Any suggestions for block prep to get rid of lingering metal?  I will pull a couple of rod and main bearings to look for problems. Multiple oil filter changes after it runs?

This happened using Mobil-1.  It has been suggested that it is too slippery to rotate the lifters. Has anybody else heard that?

All thoughts are appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Paul
