Hey Repirts, Told ya it wasn't that hard. If the engine wasn't making noise before you did the head gasket, it shouldn't do it after. Sounds like this is to late, but the knock might have been crossed wires. If there was cylinder damage you would have seen it when you had the heads off . Water damage to the needle bearings takes quit a while to show up. Starts as tiny pits that cut the needles. Takes at least 10 or 20 hrs before you would hear anything. Check all the wires on the coils to make sure none got unpluged or broken.
If you want to take it apart . Get a service manual, your going to need all the specs anyway. Plus you will have reference as to where everything goes. Check for a price on a bare powerhead sometimes your better off just doing that. You can get a rebuilt exchange just check ouy who its coming from. I've had good luck with most.
Most important make sure you put waterproof grease or neversieze on every bolt you put back on. Drilling out salt stuck bolts down the road is a pain in the butt. Good luck Email if you need anything.
