Is this something I likely did to myself by not paying close enough  
attention on the drive home, pushing it too hard during the break-in,  
or does this occasionally happen to the best of  rebuilds?



Stephen,
 
I truely feel your fustration and pain. My first engine rebuild did what  
your's is doing, lead tainted oil, metal shavings, bad noises. Turned out that  
the "rebuilt" rods were all undersized, except for one that was at the  
minimum. It ate several bearings and the crank, it still hurts. The vendor  refunded 
my money for the rods, and I resized next set myself. The "new-new"  engine is 
running great now. Hope you'll be there soon!
