    The metal shavings in the oil were from the first second you built the motor... Something was grinding and its not going to stop.. usually a grinding bearing will last about 300-500 miles before it falls apart enough to knock.

    Also I just remembered while turning the crank pulley to do the flex plate bolts that the engine jammed and we had to use a huge breaker bar to make it start spinning again
