Rebuilt Engine bearing wear

MOPAROFFICIAL said

Looks like it was put together in with motor oil... but not primed before start, a marginally dry start in other words..but regardless the bearings are not damaged.in any way that would need replaced.

Preload on the lifters needs verified/ checked and or a tiny exhaust leak may exist.

I mean this time I put the bearings in with motor oil because it was started less then 2 hours after installing the bearings. The oil filter was filled to the very top. I did not prime the pump but it picked up pressure quickly. I do believe it has an exhaust leak but it also definitely had a rod knock on either cylinder 1 or 2.
