I went through this thread nice build man... I agree the 1st video i was happy then you didn't turn on the car and i frown 
So we fixed the no start and idle problem but the knock has returned and left and returned again
When we pulled the, they seemed a bit oily but I didn't know if they got oil on the,pm from the top of the galley.
I think your engine is seizing up. I'd refrain from starting that thing until you check the rods. It does sound like typical knock. You have good access to like 4 rods from dropping the pan alone it looks like. To access all rods looks like you need to remove the complete bottom assembly.
Crap temporary advice to say try thicker oil. If it's knocking, then it's knocking, what can you do? If it is knocking the crank journals will get scored eventually and you will be looking at even a higher cost of repair. It's not screatching metal to metal yet. I'm sure you can save the engine. Wish I wouldve told you don't start it. It's all my fault bro I feel responsible by saying shit like doesnt sound like knock, but it didn't, now it really sounds like knock.

No worries I wonder why it comes and goes.
I'm gonna pull the motor and find another shop/friend to go through it for me

It doesnt sound like knock though. What the fuck man. I think its a head interference issue when your cam lobes ride over and hit your buckets. Or interference with the piston. Maybe they got the bucket shims messed up at your place. Id say 90 percent valve, 10 percent rod lol. I mean with the rod bearing, it's like a steady fast clackclackclack at higher revs not necessarily apparent at low idle, but more at higher rpms, your problem sounds like a tick tick tick. lol.
