Well, I am down to the short block and there is catastrophic damage.
It is a miracle the car drove.
The oil pick up came off and was loose in the crankcase AND I had a SECOND oil pump driveshaft inside the crankcase. The photos speak for themselves.
The car actually drove well with no noise! To round things off, there was a random dowel pin that came out of water galleries.
I have no explanation for any of this, or how the car drove.
