Head gaskets don't look too bad. Why do say they are blown? I can't see them causing any issue. Maybe blowing by a little but the rings are still intact. Surely not the cause of metal particles. 
Find the source of the metal debris.

as far as metal i only found 5 little specs and the other thing i checked the cam sensor with tool and the light was out i turned it counterclockwise 1/8 inch and the light came on so it was an 1/8 inch out dont know how many degrees that is. also the ring on the sensor was heavily corroded.Head gaskets don't look too bad.

The "graphite" on the filter is metal. That did not come from the head gasket. Something had to get ground up.
Keep digging, you'll find it.

Don't know why it's blue, looks grey to me. Prolly aluminum.
it smears on my finger like graphite does. what about my cam sensor issue?
maybe you got a bad chip they can break if you get a static charge putting them in. i had never had an issue with erics chips. he did reburn me one and it didnt help. ran the same but idled better and better fueling. thanks anyway. if you bought it off eric email him he will make it right. if you got it off a board member you are on your own i guess. sounds like it is burned for another type of injector
While the gaskets look like theyre getting pushed, it isnt your issue. The cam sensor being mis-aligned.. that could cuase issues.
Pull your lifters out one at a time and look at their bottoms for issues.. they all should be nice and flat on a flat tappet cam. This is one sure way to tell if the cam is toast, as you can not have a perfect lifter and a wiped out lobe.

thanks julio!!!!! i did check the lifters and they are flat with a circular mark on them so the zinc is doing its job as for the cam sensor i hope that was an issue and the issue.
If it is the cam sensor, its a pisser. While I have never had to chase down a mis-aligned cam sensor, there are plenty of threads of those who have.
Make sure you get 85 FT lbs on the upper middle head bolts to help clamp er down.
Cant think of anything else. :redface:

thanks for the help. what about torque for the rest of the bolts?
thanks

Should also use the lube recommended by the bolt/stud manufacturer. If using ARP....use ARP's lube....yes it makes a difference.
