Is it pieces of a shop towel someone left in the lifter valley? I remember seeing pictures of a red rag that got left in the same place on someones car.

This is a paper towel tho. So I have paper towel stuck in the oil pump drive gear in the cam gear and who knows where else. I been fishing for paper towel all of last night.

wow.so how in the world did you not see that when you went to put the intake back on? drink too many beers while workin on the car or work on the car all night and got sleepy?

You mean that paper towel was in there when you pulled the intake manifold?

HUH. Time to pull the engine and look for damage/more surprises.

Rented a priming tool from AZ and primed the oil pump and all i heard was knocking. Witch was the whole reason i started this little tear down.

Now i time to remove the pan... again.. :/

To me listening to that vid and seeing what you have said leads me to believe that if you have good oil pressure that your pump is fucked but your motor may be fine..

Took the oil pump off and primed it and all i could here was a knocking sound. I called summit told them the bump was acting weird...i should have another one by Tuesday. So summit FTW.

Ive cleaned all paper towel that is visible... will go back and double check tho

I would be more concerned with where the rest of the orange RTV is. Did it come off with the intake? Or is it in the oil galleries throughout the engine that can't be seen? Stuck in a oil hole in a bearing? Have you dissassembled the oil pump?

rebuilding an engine now worst nightmare

It looks like the remnants of a dead puppy.
From the sound of the video it sounds too intermittent to be a rod knock. It may be more garbage being tossed about causing all kinds of havoc...

Time to make some nice improvements, port work, cam, making the move to a 383, pistons....

So, am I reading this right? You accidentally left a paper towel in there when you put it back together??

Subscribed. That sucks, hope your motor is OK.
