Be 100% positive that the o-ring has seated right. If it hasn't it will cause low oil pressure. A spun bearing can cause low oil pressure, but you would hear a pretty loud knock/tap. JFYI a 396 is not a 6.0l

Done many O-rings for low oil pressure/ valvetrain noise. It is the most common cause outside bearing clearance issues.
