Strange.

So there is no indication of an oiling problem? i.e. crank to bearing face contact/damage?
Or bearing shell being hammered (detonation)?

Any indication of the caps moving on the rod (fretting on the cap/rod contact surface?

Fretting/welding indicates parts are moving under load. Initial thought would be to tighten (decrease) the bore size to the minimum to increase the crush.

All I got. Will be watching for responses.
