When you rebuilt the engine did you go back with a high performance oil pump? Your problem could be too much oil on the top end and not enough flow area for the oil to return to the bottom end. If this is all full then you can't vent out the top end (cover vents, pcv...etc).
If you pump more oil than intended to the top end then you have to give it bigger return holes to circulate.
Just a thought...
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
