The big end shells had the necessary hole in them to supply pressure fed gudgeon pin but as I replaced with splash fed gudgeon pin arrangement this was rendered redundant. The small end bushes were drilled with an extra hole to allow for the small oil reservoir. Ive had the sump off and opened the big ends. I couldnt detect any small end play. The timing chain gears will be checked out. Oddly enough the noise seems to more or less disappear when the engine is up to full temperature and/or taken above idle. Could The ring pack be a bit tight or lacking in splash lubrication at low revs when cold? Cant see it causing a knock though. Ive heard of some of these rebuild kits not allowing enough oil to the rings. In fact someone recommended leaving the lower oil control ring out of the engine altogether as it would allow better liner lubrication with no effect on oil consumption. Anyway thanks for your replies, I'm going to pull the crankshaft and pistons now and have a closer look at things.
