   Not Recommended but i heard redlining the engine can over pressure the internals and can shift blockages.
   Never tried it or heard if its accurate but just thought i would say.

   +1 then have a knackered engine,its possible either the oil strainer is blocked or your oil pump isn`t working properly mate.

   Did you get this problem sorted? I have this also and am trying to get to the bottom of it.
