It sounded like this on first start up all was prelubed correctly my main bearings clearance is .003 and so are the rods I'm within spec. all the bearings to the balance shafts were sealed by turning them to block the oil ports. the rear balance shaft didn't need one cause the oil comes from the shaft I read. Miss informed maybe, some one chime in here please. I had the block decked 5 thou and never did the oil port mod maybe I should have taken the extra 5 minutes and did it. I'll try the spark plug removal to destinguish is its rod knock but I doubt it. I will post my results.OMG
