Take each rod out and recheck until you're down to just the crank. Then check the crank for straightness. If the straightness checks out < 0.002" then it's the block.

Forgot to say that the bearing clearances also need to be checked out too before everything above.

Simple, you are using arp main studs so the block needs line boring.

Used bearing lube for new motors? Check you're torque specs.

With the pistons and rods out, you should be able to spin the crank by hand.
