gtofreek,
The knocking is the same from day one as to now. The original gas was literally 30 minutes old when I put it in the tank at the shop that did the electrical work. The heads got a clean bill of health when I spent the $170 to have them inspected as you suggested. You spoke to the guys and they said the heads looked great and complimented on your work. I know nothing about cars but I've been forced to learn a lot, thats for sure.
The knocking noise is masked at higher RPM. Feel free to post the video of my motor running on the dyno at idle from outside the booth. I can't hear any knocking when the video is taken from the booth and the motor is taken to 6,200 RPM. So if you're now saying that gas is the problem but the distributor bushing was damaged, the oil pump shaft has witness marks, we switched the oil pump and the shaft but the same noise is present, is gas really the problem? When a listening device is used, the signature of the knock is still present at the distributor! As I said before...I hope this is something that can be easily addressed but it at this point, none of this is making sense, even to a novice like me.
