Thumb was throbbing and swollen about twice its normal size. Went to the Dr., got a big shot of antibiotic in the a$$ and sent to a hand specialist because it was nasty red from the tip of the thumb well into the hand. It is much better now and I am going for my last (I hope) follow up today at 3:15. You hand is not worth much without a usable thumb.
Moral of the story. Break-in oil with all that ZDDP in a small cut can turn ugly quick.

Wow, glad you you get to keep the thumb.
