This is not going to be good news, but from experience, necessary.
Pull the motor out and do a disassembly.
I know this is a ton of work, especially after putting it in.
I had one, a "B" that was assembled with lubriplate 20 years ago.
It had hardened in the main oil feed tubes and needed quite a bit of pressure to clean it out. There is no way a non pressurized motor will push the hardened lube out of the bearings.
Best of luck, John
