I think that the problem was not caused by insufficient oil from the sump but rather blocked oil passages. I mention this in my previous video about the engine swap. See around minute 11:30. Threads of orange silicone sealant may have made their way into those little channels and holes that lubricate the crank. The extreme heat weakened the bolts and bang!
