put it back together with new bearings put the CORRECT amount of oil in it fire it up on the dyno then after a few minutes shut it off--- pull the pan see if it has foam--- then turn it over and pop off the rod caps from 5 & 6 see if they look bad --while you are at it may as well check the others too maybe use a "regular" filter instead of that new fancy one you have see if that makes a difference---- might want to check your oil pressure from that small plug front of the engine on top of the block near the timing cover thats the last place that sees oil
