Re: Next steps for the 63?
Get a clean pan and drain the engine oil. If the oil is clean, you can put it back in. If you see fibrous material, your cam gear is probably shredded. Did you pull the timing cover when you had the engine out, before? The cam gear going bad is unlikely, but your comment about the way it sounds makes me think of it as a possibility.
