Bruce,
Sure sounds and acts like a rod bearing. If the noise can be heard at
idle,(you may have to raise your idle) pull plug wires one at a time. If
noise stops you found your cylinder, and most likley a rod bearing.
Good luck.

Lately, I've been hearing a slight banging noise coming from the driver's
side of the engine (350) doesn't seem like a rod knock and is heavier sounding
than the tap-tap I would expect from the a bad lifter.
The oil pressure gauge is only at the one quarter mark when idling and just
BELOW the halfway mark under throttle. I'm also hearing more of a knock when
under throttle.
Milton, Fred, Chris, what's happening here?
