Default Re: 92 SL with blown engine - huge CLATTER!

I just did a full rebuilt that was trashed by a bad (brand new) oil pump before the shop could deliver it to me...the head mech was test driving it after they stabbed the motor in. You should have seen the bearings, they melted out like butter. Nothing but copper showing on the inside. Anyway, just got the car back, second build on the motor. This oil pump seems good, but I did have three lifters that were collapsed...brand new lifters. It's the little things that kill you. (At least the shop bought me a new crank...)
