They used fiber optic lights pipe cleaners and carbide burs on 14" long 1/8" shafts to get inside to clean up that the drills missed. I think the MOCO needs a letter from you and what you found.
GOOD SLOOTHING AND RIDE SAFE

Hi Chris
i got lucky buddy, thats all. Had i not built a little fiber optic light to look down inside, i would have never seen it sitting inside the camplate. The chip was just about right AT the intake side of where the pump sits on the camplate, but you couldnt even see the chip at the pump side either. Kinda fell between the spot where you cant see anything from either end. Lucky find bro, just lucky.
Yes, the MoCo is getting a letter on what happened and what i found. My only hope is, that they`ll look into it and fix the inspection precedure`s with the vendor that makes these camplates so that knowbody else has to go thru this ever again. I`m sure it was just a fluke that it happened, BUT still, the hell i went thru...!!!!! Anyhow, i feel really good about it bro, at least i know i`m still good at buildin motors after all this went down. It surely belittled me i tell ya...lol. I just couldnt convince my self that it was something i was doing wrong... i`ve built hundreds of motors in my life, and i wasnt about to let this one beat me...lol, or be the last one i ever built or give up on.
Chris... thankyou for all you`ve done brother... i owe you
