I replaced the crankshaft, rod and main bearings, had the block align bored. I put everything back together according to the book and now the # 1 rod is knocking. Any help would be nice

Must not be getting enough oil either pressure is off or there is a passage blockage or the parts are out of spec.

Are you sure it's a rod knock? The bearing should show the results of the knocking?

Getting ready to pull oil pan to check. I may have used the old rod cap.
