not enough oil pressure maby the oil pump might be f***ed
id be checking the oil pressure
the standard oil gauge is useless and the oil pressure senders are usually broken/old
i would go and borrow a oil pressure tester thinging and use it straight out of the block where the old pressure sender is and see when u rev up to 5 grand there should be at least 50psi or more i think don't quote me
just giving u ideas 2 help at least then u know its not a oil pressure problem
mys at around 60psi at 5 grand but its not standard
i had the same problem ended up killing my motor it stated out as what i thought was the lifters turned out to be bearings
