Did you have the bearing end of the rods reconditioned or checked? I just wonder if something wasn't off a bit there. I had that issue with an Oliver 66 basket case. The rods had been poorly stamped. They had used stamped dots to indicate which number it was. I had 2 rod caps with 3 dots stamped into them. One had 2 clear dots, and a weak 3rd for. The other had 2 clear dots and a 3rd, but it was was along the edge of a casting line and very faint. Guessed which one was correct, and apparently guessed wrong. It turned over well and ran good, good oil pressure, but noticed a build up of metal on the dipstick. Pulled it back down and noticed the number 2 and 3 bearings looking about like yours. Got new rod bearings, pulled rods, and installed the new bearings into the rods and closely inspected. When I swapped the caps that weren't marked very clearly, I noticed they fit just slightly better than it did with the other cap. I put it back together, and it looked good when plastigauged. I didn't do it the first time, for the first time ever, and remembered why I do it every time. Been running real good since then. Maybe that's not your issue, but it was mine at one time.
