So curiosity got the best of me, and I followed up with a quick image search for- “oil pickup blocked” and “oil pickup blocked (after) flush(ing)” I was surprised by the results. A lot of returns for pickup tube blockages in everyday stock vehicles, easily over 5 unique manufacturers...

Wow that's a nice looking survivor, congrats! Sorry to hear about the general condition of the mechanical side of things; but check out that moly content(; It had a decent amount of calcium too. All I can think would be- -Short OCIs to try and flush out some silicon & wear metals. Basic tune up...
