one more thing i forgot to add have you ever blew a motor that ate the crank once before? mine had snaped a crank befoe i got it and radiator was needing to be replaced after i did that my radiator guy asked me if i wanted to see inside the oil cool and it was jamed packed full of the golden flakes. advice do a very thoural check and have the block flushed and start fresh.
Very fine brass residue & flakes in oil: help me make a potential problem checklist

Ive also had a thrust issue before
I had steel caps installed and the thrust faces on the new caps were not square to the main line The machine shop squared it up but the cap ended up .010 to narrow I had to make a .010 shim to put behind the bearing to keep it from walking Im not sure if the register wasnt ground square to the thrust face on the new cap or what.... Hell whos to say the factory register was square in the block My friends new motor started trashing his thrust and found it was to rough from the crank grinders... Now i always tell them not to touch the thrust when i have a crank ground and wont have one ground unless the thrust is nice

That's the exact same issue I'm having with my billet thrust cap !!! I'm having a new billet cap made and having the block realigned honed .
