John,
If the sump cover was installed without the proper clearance around the oil suction pipe ... the scavenge pump may have been sucking air because of the blockage ... and, the sump may have completely filled up with oil! How long did you run the engine both times? Did a proper oil pressure reading ever take a nosedive during test running?
