Snug up each cap bolt and then start with the one on the driver's side.

What was the bearing crush when you installed it? Did you use plastic gauge to measure the clearance?

Was the crank damaged? Does it have any grooves or scores?

Yes, I checked all that and the crane and everything look good. It sounds like it is in the upper part of the motor this time.

The upper end is a totally different noise than a rod.

To confirm it is a rod bearing, short down the cylinders one at a time. If the noise gets less intensive or goes away it is a rod bearing.
