Dang this guy is taking a beating , think he ruled out lower end noise , even the elusive cracked piston skirt noise that beat me up once . Why is the noise gone with eng on stand ? The exhaust was baffled somehow yes ? Bad u joints or coupler slip fit ?

when the engine was run out of the boat was it on a run stand or just on the floor,did it still have all the marine stuff on it.need more information to try and help you figure out what is causing the noise.

Maybe since its down in the engine bay it makes it seam louder than it really is. Maybe u can't hear it real well on the ground???

Well if my engine had 30lb oil pressure I would be concerned. That's not enough to suit me. The loud knocking noise is not from a bearing going bad. The bearing is already gone. That's why I asked about oil pressure. I don't give a hoot about making friends. I'm not looking around to do that. I have been called worse things by better people than YOU!!
