    See where your oil is coming from, might just be a bad oil cooler.

    If you pulled over when the sounds started you may have saved crankshaft?

    You need to send off a oil sample, then use a oil press gauge that you put in the block or a new oil press sensor to be sure what the real oil press is, how is the rebuilt motor running power wise?
