If the crank was ground it is a MUST to run a brush thru all the oil holes....and wash it real good...….
Seen guys take a fresh ground crank out of the box and just install it.
Over full oil pan could have caused the oil to aerate from windage.....but that's a stretch.....

I believe it's a volume issue (I'll know more today when I look at some measurements) All the plugs are in and the cam bearings look good, only the rods (last to oil). Crank was run through the washer and brushed. Is there a way to get oil pressure closer to the crank and not in the galleys?
