The knock sounded like it was by the exhaust manifold, and seemed like the
more pressure on the gas the louder it was,, downshifting though did not
produce the sound.
The temp was at 195 or so
the oil pressure was at 60, but it did drop at the stop lights to 35
LOL
I doubt I will take it apart, any time soon, I got so much to do.....lol

What kind of oil pressure did you have while knocking?
Was it a single knock or was it more like a double knock?
A way down low knock is probably a rod bearing.
A double higher up in the block knock could be a wrist pin.
Either way, guess it's time for that 1275.
Do take it apart and let us know what you find.
