Just slapped a new head on my 7bolt. Bought the car without the head on. Started it right up and it purrs like a kitten. No misfire at all. But theres this knock. Thats not consistent. It sounds like its coming from up top but the head is swapped with new lifters. If i rev it the knock shifts over the whole engine. But its never consistent. And its on cold start. Balance shaft??
 
Could be balance shafts... bearing failure.
I have also set my balance shaft and oil pump wrong during timing.... car ran like crap.... sooooo much vibration during acceleration, but no knock.
