Trish, you're pushing luck.
I'm pretty sure the previous owner ran low on oil. It will be okay until you accelerate, stop, or go up or down a hill
The oil will move forwards or back, leaving the front or back lower rod bearings dry. You will spin the bearings, tearing them out and slapping the lower rod/caps on the crankshaft. Your new engine will sound like your old one.... Until the rod goes thru the block
If I was Kevin, I wouldn't swap the engine again.
Keep checking the oil every time.

Got an emergency oil question on my MB. I put the last 2 qts of oil in, nothing showing on dip stick, but pressure gauge was fine. Town is 10 miles...I have a 2nd job interview later today that I really, really need to get to.
I know in the past I've been told on here that if the gauge shows pressure I'm OK.
Would YOU drive the ten miles to town?
