I'm :thinking: that those pieces of metal in the OP's hand look thick, and like the wrong type of metal to be bearings. I can't see real well but it almost looks like the ring grooves, ring lands maybe?
Or are those just internal parts of the Oil Pump? I've never taken an oil pump apart, I just repliced mine as a whole unit when I built my block.
I only ask because its possible that your cylinders are scored beyond repair.
Edit: The oil pickup screen would have kept anything from entering the pump, so I assume those are pieces of the pump itself. never mind :doh: -
