Could it be an oil pressure issue? I just finished an engine installation yesterday, and I cannot believe how quiet the new engine is, compared to the old engine. The old engine had low oil pressure.
I had an oil leak from a wrong turbo oil tube, and once the oil level dropped, the new engine started to sound more like the old engine.
What type of oil are you using? Have you ever used a thicker viscosity? Or thinner?

Good Luck!
