Did you measure the crank and rod journal when you removed the piston?
What was the measurement and what tool did you use to measure it?
Best thing to do is take it to an automotive machine shop that has the correct tools to measure it.
I have two K321s with cylinder resleeve. Both are strong runners.

I think i will look further into the sleeve option if i can find a shop anywhere near me to do it.
I've got precision calipers, just not the correct indicator tools for the bore. The crank was fine and the specs with within normal limits for a non-ground journal.
When i was taking the balance gears out (was forced to) i noticed what had to have been too much end play in the cam, haven't read up on that too much but i am nearly certain that's where the more serious sound noise was/is coming from.
The smoke you saw was from about 100 little holes in the muffler shooting smoking oil back onto the block. The tapping is defintely a mechanical noise in the valve train.
See the below video i took earlier this evening. (edit: i need to point out that after compressing the video to upload that it makes the valves look completely off timed and all over the place, that's just a visual effect of not even enough frames per second)
