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.....
Not really a stretch when putting 1 quart over.What size oil filter? Pickup to pan should be a max of 3/8".
