We checked to make sure the o-rings seated in and under the nipples... They are fine and all was torqued to spec with a new pan gasket and indian head.

Also THE CAR IS FIXED.

It turns out it was the Fram oil filter. I did an oil change over christmas with a fresh Fram filter and fresh penzoil 10w-30. Turns out my oil pressure probably wasn't ever low. I swapped it out for a Wix this evening and the car idles with a health 4 bar cold and 1.5 bar at idle (700rpm). It's at about 3 bar at 2000rpm and 2.2-2.4 bar in between 1000 and 2000 quickly jumping to 2.2-2.4 from 1.5 at idle when the slightest of gas is applied. Those pressures when it's fully warmed up. I just didn't want to believe that it was the bearings - these cars are built so heartily.

Long story short - stay away from Fram.
