If it's not a mechanical knock, you won't notice a change as the miles pass. It's my thought that this is your best path forward to an ultimate solution.

Good luck, and hope you get to enjoy the engine and plenty of seat time soon!

Ditto. I wold make sure 5 and 7 wires were not backwards and drive the piss out of it!!!
