What is the connecting rod bearing clearance? What is the main bearing clearance?

Sounds like you'll have to replace the main bearings. Like Bob is saying, check to make sure the clearances are within spec.

These are infamous for the oil pickup tube screen getting clogged and the oil pickup tube o-ring failing.
