Just a reminder while you are going through the oiling system... include the passage up through the jug and check out the head as well. The service manual shows dowels and locations... sometimes they can fall out. Passages can get plugged by RTV as well if the previous owner ever used it.

Ok so heres the current situation. Im planning on doing the 416 kit so that should take care of any cylinder out of round issues. I think the slight knocking under load was cause by a very tiny bit of play in the connecting rod. So the next question....What kind of connecting rod/crankshaft should i do and anything i should know about replacing them....?

Thanks guys
