Ok I have a rebuilt engine maybe I did something wrong or the machine shop did. My oil clearances are 0.003 mains and rods .20 over JE/Eagle setup polished/balanced crank. it start it cold and you hear a knocking that appears after 5-6 seconds of idling then goes away when my car is at operating temp. sounds like its in the oil pan but also in the cams too. I know JE pistons are common for piston slap. The sound is in cylinder 4 for sure. I am boggled at that it vanishes and there isn't any metal shavings in my oil I have std size ACL race series rod bearings and std size King mains. I'll post a video of a cold start then a video of it warmed up after driving it If need be. I am hoping some one can share their knowledge with me on this issue.
