Don't just look at the bearings - check them. Brother in law had a 383 with a turned crank and std. size bearings. 20 Psi oil press. Guy that built it never even Plastigaged them. What you assume to be right is what will come back to bite you. Ron

Does oil get to the top (rockers)? When the engine was running was there loud lifter noise?

i took the right valve cover off to see what i had at idle and i didnt see any oil flow, the engine never knocks or makes any strange noise at all. i hit the throttle up to about 1000 rpm and oil sprayed everywhere
Might want to double check the pickup you installed. If it was to close to the bottom of the pan that might happens. Assuming it had oilpressure before the tear doing i would think the pick-up might be the problem

If you R&R the pan you might throw another pump in there. It might be as simple as the regulator sticking/sluggish from a little piece of crud. Do let us know what it ends up being. Inquiring minds want to know
