sounds like you are losing oil pressure or you have a large vacuum leak. I am not a Honda owner so I cant give you specific part #'s or names but I would maybe look into these things:

-check for ripped vacuum lines
-check for bad PCV valves

-If you have an oil sending unit check that
-if you have an oil valve in the pancake that you screw the oil filter onto check to see if that is still opening/closing.

Do you hear loud tapping from the valve cover? As if your lifters are not getting enough oil?

I know I'm a bit late on this but it seems like your oil pump is on it's way out.
