Thanks very much for everyone's input. Much appreciated!

Engine got pulled today by a fellow PCA club member and trusted engine builder. Oil pickup tube is clean. Connecting rod cap broke. Big chunk of crankshaft missing. He does not think its a oil starvation issue at the moment. So there it is.

I feel better knowing that its likely me and not Toyota being petty on the warranty.
