Reason i asked is.
Normal engine heads have very small oil galeries, and if your previous engine pumped metal everywere their is a 100% certainty that it got into the galleries of the head!
What you have done is not cleaned the head and the shrapnel was still inside and probably alot of it, and this wont just go away with one cycle of oil or even 3/4. What you have done is put the oem bottom end on and it has pumped oil round the bottom end and mixed with the contaminated oil in the head Getting into the oil pump causing all sorts of problems such as blockages/ the metal grinding at the pump gears, and thus low pressure in the engine and that just makes the rest of the engine eat at i self cycling around the engine. Normal heads have very small oil gallieries and expecially honda heads due to the vtec design the cam caps etc all have a very intrecate design to allow for the vtec system to be properly lubricated.
Do you understand where im coming from?
Their was probably nothing wrong with the other bottom end but you have screwed it by allowing that contaminated oil round it. If you have seen many failed engines you will understand that metal flakes do not just go aeay without being properly chemically cleaned/hot tanked etc.
