I even pulled a rod cap and the bearings still look new but when I took the pan off the bottom had a metallic look to it but thats probably from no oil pressure

When it was rebuilt where all the oil gallery plugs removed? If so maybe one was left off and just letting the oil drain back into the pan. I think there are two in front of the block.
