Super C rebuild update

Well I removed the oil pan to see why the oil pressure was low when the engine warmed up. Sure enough the gasket on the oil pump is blown out. Looks like it has been gone for a while. I put the pump cover on a straight edge and it looks to be warped. It's hard to tell because my eyes are getting bad. One possible problem. When I pulled the pan there was a small amount of metal specks at the bottom of the pan. I tore apart the oil filter and found about 5 or 6 specks. The engine was run for about an hour. Is that normal after a rebuild? Has anyone seen this before? Dale
 
Was there any machining done on the engine block.
You probably should've had the engine block hot dipped. I used a steam jenny on an A block in 1975. Hal

Hal It was an in frame rebuild. The thing I'm hoping for is the pan was sitting on the garage floor for a while and the kids where working on their mud trucks. Maybe they got some grindings in the oil pan, and I didn't catch the metal specks when I cleaned the oil pan. I can't think of anything I could have done that would cause metal shavings. I'm pushing 60 and my eyes just aren't what they used to be. Hope I didn't miss something.
 
I don't think a few specks is anything to get excited about. Remember that the new rings have to seat in the sleeves. A properly honed cylinder sleeve operates like a mill file, and files away at the rings until they're seated. That's one reason why you change the oil right away after a rebuild.

If the oil looks like metallic paint, then you better tear it back down and figure out what you did wrong.
 
I was thinking that the metal is coming from the rings. I drained about a pint of oil in a jar when I first drained the oil. It didn't look like it had any coolant or metal specks. I will fix the oil pump and run it. If it has any major problems I'll post. Thanks' Dale.
