I would like to start out this new thread thanking all those who helped me so far with my jammed oil pump problem.

I had the engine running fine -new pump, rod bearings, etc. -and decided to change out my motor mounts before I put the vehicle back into service. Very soon after starting the engine with the new mounts, I started hearing a single cylindar tap tap tap, especially above idle. It has now grown to a loud clank clank clank, along with a scary rubbing squeek. I have oil pressure -3 bar above idle. This new noise is really loud, and sounds more like a hammer against the side of a cast iron bathtub than one driving a nail.

It sounds really bad -is it all over for this engine?
