200k miles on engine. Truck ran low on oil had slight knock. Topped off oil, knock went away.
2 weeks later engine started knocking bad, oil level was good.
Knock is louder from the bottom of the engine and knocks about half of engine rpm. Slow but hard deep knock
I get the engine taken apart, top end everything looks good but one lifter has a loose roller. Figured that's what my hemi tick was.
Get to the bottom end take out all rod bearings and they all look fine. Couldn't find play in any of the rods as well before taking apart. Crankshaft seems solid. No scoring on crank.
What could the knocking have been?
I want to make sure it's fixed before putting all back together.
