So I got the car running, put in the new squirters and new timing belt etc but whenever I first fired it up it had this intermittent knocking sound. Drove it around a bit, went on the highway and off and it got a lot worse after getting off the highway. When I begin to accelerate, it's not very noticeable, but when I push the clutch pedal in to shift it gets REALLY LOUD and then kinda quiet end up when I let the clutch out and into gear, or press the brakes. The wheels are tight (and it makes the sound but not as loud when sitting still), the crank pulley is also new (fluidampr with the longer ARP studs) as well as the tensionor, alternator, power steering pump rebuilt and all new belts. I'be read that the crank pulley could be rubbing or a piston rod bearing may be toast, I took a video that demonstrates the sound. And it's only getting worse, please help!
