Are you using chamfered bearings for the raised fillet of the aftermarket crank? Also, try using half groove bearings instead of 3/4.

I'd check the crank to be sure it was all in spec and not slightly bent or out of round, and tear the block all the way down and have it cooked, cleaned and inspected for any damage or blockage in the oil passages...

Fresh crank meaning new crank? Or turned crank? If it has been turned, are you using the correct undersized bearings?
