Dragging one of the "retrieval magnets" on a handle around the bottom of the
(plastic) drain pan might also be informative. One of the thin magnets
attached to a bendable aluminum wire can sometimes be inserted through the
drain and drug around the bottom of the pan, but removing the pan and
checking for aluminum as well as steel metal shards is the best way.

Remove oil drain plug and see what comes out with the oil after parking
with pan sloped downward toward drain plug.

Well I took the belts off, took off the vacuum pump and took off the
valve cover.
Everything is good there nothing loose. Started the engine and the noise
is still there but I can tell now that it seems to come from the oil pan.
Could it be the oil pump? Even though the gauge says there is plenty of
pressure. Don't really want to take it all apart to check as that looks
to be as much work as just putting another engine in.

Didn't even think about that till you mentioned it. Then I looked
in the manual. That sounds like a fun part to replace. Hope it
isn't that.
BTW I forgot to mention that it is a 617 engine in an 81 300SD.

You might also look at the injection pump timer.
