Thanks alot for all the comments and help guys

Well it looks bad I drove the car last night to the shop which is about 40miles away from my house it drove great with little engine vibration from 1500-3000rpm when I reached the shop the oil press dropped to 18-20psi at idel even though the temp never went above 190F
(oil press was 30-35psi hot before) and then slight knock noise in the engine not at idel only from 2000-3500rpm we still dont know the problem but it looks like my 5 years engine is dying

We'll tear down the engine in the next couple of weeks to check

I'm already looking to build a new short block 346-390ci I Dont want to go 400+ci since I dont have any plans to go with bigger turbo for now

Thanks again guys .

Brgs gone, crank wheel skipping away from the sensor. When you pull it, check the engine dimensional specs, including the crank end play...Makes for good reference material.
