Chally if those are rotators as you suspect, you cant use them with brass shims undernieth the springs. The shims will ate up in short order.
OP, take a valve covers off and see if you see signs of the shim spacers being ate up.
Maybe the bearings are fine/were and the excess metal is from the shims. ???
Yeah, I'll try that Monday unless the machine shop just wants to tow it somewhere right away. But, say that it is the shim spacers. Would the engine still need to be torn back down? Because with all that metal in the oil, wouldn't it lead to other components failing?

What could I have done to be sitting here with a good running motor
Not much you could have done, did what you could.
That's what I thought. I don't know why these guys want to defend this machine shop. I followed every instruction to the tee.
