we built a chevy small block 350 to go into a street rod, after trying to start it (minimal difficulties) she started, we turned it off and did it again a little while later. Only this time, while cranking it started to make a LOUD "knocking noise" (coming from the engine) about 4 times a second. The engine still started but continued/continues to make the noise. I havent gotten a chance (at the cabin for the last week) to tear into the motor yet and have been mulling the situation over. Any ideas as to what the noise may be/what may be causing the noise.
*One thought is that it a rocker could be too tight/the rod is down too far and is getting hit. But idk if that would be as loud as the sound actually is*
