Not necessarily in this order but it looks like maybe overfilling (too much oil) causing foaming or aeration --- a blocked oil passage or 2,---- a malfunctioning oil pump or pressure relief valve---- improper bearing selection or installation --- since all the bearings show some damage and those on one side more so than the other side-- also is it possible that you have the left pistons installed on the right bank and vice versa looking at the wear??? and finally crud remaining in the engine block after machining --- You'll find just have to keep on looking FED 387
