there is actually no reason to go further with this engine without pulling it
out and completely inspecting every part of it!!!Bits of metal get into the
oil galleys and then what do you have??
crank and rods need to be measured,cam shaft and bearings need looked
at..in short..a complete teardown,inspection,repair and then reinstall the
"Good"engine..
