The oil is a 30 weight Brad Penn breakin oil as of right now.
Maybe a vac pump issue..........
The oil clearances are what the rod manufacturer ( GRP ) suggests.......who am I to argue? I could certainly look at that though........why aluminum? Because that was better suited to what I'm doing IMO.
6 quarts plus filter total as of now. Have run 5 plus filter..........same result.
I think a wet sump is a PITA right now.

Maybe there is a reason they stopped making the pan !!! What are they using for a windage tray?

Aluminum rods have a very short cycle life compared to a good steel rod. There is a lot of mass swinging around there which does not help windage issues.

Sounds like a windage issue!! How much vacuum are you pulling. If your using cam bearing with 3 holes there is a serious bleed off issues along with you don't have a clue what your lifter bore clearance is which could be bleeding off to much oil and dumping it on the crank.

Go to dry sump problem solved!!
