I was thinking the same thing. I am also thinking that if the engine had the suspected bad bearing(s) when it was donated to the junkyard that there may be some glittery oil residing in the pan from that. I know when I looked at my oil pan when I spun the first engine that it looked pretty crazy and no matter how many oil changes I would have done I am sure the metal shavings would likely be visibly apparent and certainly apparent when analyzed by analytical chemistry techniques. That being said, I will definitely be consulting with them about it.
In fact, I work in a chemistry lab so maybe I can go ahead and do the analysis myself! haha

At this point almost anything seems easier than tearing the motor apart, ugh!
BTW, just bought some seafoam. I'm gonna go for the extremely unrealistic hail mary approach tonight and see if miracles really do exist! I bought it mostly for my other car. I figured I could do both at once.
