Thanks for all the help the bearings have no play. I ripped apart the engine and install stock pistons and rods. Removed the oil squirter and new oem bearings for the sr20de.
Installed new gasket,torqued head,installed new tensioner.
All done with assembly lube.
Rotated the engine by hand,checked timing, then turned engine over.
The engine makes the same knock sound. With the intake and parts off it sounds more like it's coming from the transmission area.
Next step is to remove the trans and inspect.
Keep the ideas coming
