time to replace motor .....or rebuild make sure to replace cam bearings too.

the crankshaft main bearings may be getting worn,also the camshaft bearings.When the oil warms up it will move threw the worn areas more easly.And yes the oil pump can be worn.Plasticgauge is the only way to tell how much wear there is on the bearings.
