I'm not an expert on aviation oils but do know a little about competition car engines.
If you have been running on a low detergent oil and change to a higher grade detergent oil ,then all the carbon build up around bearings,seals etc will be "washed" out leaving large clearance just where you don't want them.
Is this a possible scenario with your new oil and engine?
