Measured the crank. All signs point toward a badly reground crankshaft when I had it turned. I am going to gauge the bearings again, but the crank has almost .005 taper in the con rod journals, and there is about .004 taper in the mains. Also, I had the rods re-done with the engine, but again, they seem out of round with how the bearings are wearing. I haven't measured them yet. I guess I could have had some premature wear from something else, but I don't know what!
Also - I had a small hole in my oil line under the lifter side cover from rubbing against a lifter, but it doesn't seem to have caused my major oil loss issue.
