Okay so here is another update:
Engine completely disassembled and we discovered that all the bearings and the crank had been scored along with some of the cylinders and pistons. Mains are OK. Cause is oil not getting to those plays but the passages are all free and the pump appears to work well but needs to be taken apart for sure. One thought that I hope somebody can answer is about my oil pan. I have the first design oil pan with the screw in dipper tray - is this dipper tray lower than a regular pan? That would cause no oil to come to the bearings.
