Also pulled the heads to check for carbon buildup which looked ok just a slight deposit on the pistons and minimal on the valves..could that be the source of the knocking?
I know it's hard to diagnose a problem like this without having your hands on it but any ideas on any thing else to check while i've apart would be appreciated
Thanks

Looking @ a rod and checking the journal/rod for clearance is two different things.
I saw a pretty woman once----well that is off topic, Ha,LOL!
