Called machine shop today,told me it sounded like main bearing clearance to much....Told me to use 20w50 oil,which I changed
today.It deffently helped!He said I'd just have to live with it unless I wanted to do engine again.So,in the future I wouldn't "save" money @ machine shop level!I had the machine work on this engine done at a "new" shop to save money!
BAD MOVE!!!Like unit 5302 said either cam bearings or mains,
either way I'm#@!$

.So I'll have to live and learn
