Why did you change your post that much?
The original one had a lot more text.
You say - in the original post - you checked oil regularly.
Even with a full sump you can starve the engine from oil if you pull enough G's for a long enough time.
On a long sweeping on/off ramp I think you could get into that situation.
Or in other curved sections you know well and know how to take them at high speed.
So.. what tires are you using?
Sporty alignment?
Just because you are 100% sure the oil level was ok does not mean you are safe from oil starvation.
You mentioned before the engine is apart.
Did the dealer check the oil pump on output specs etc?
